Yeah, they're the same. Look at the title then the picture. They're identical units except for the labeling. Read the description too.

Now, as for will it do all you want it to do? I can't answer that, but it is a MIDI footswitch...

That's really funny Joe. Thanks.

Jon ...

hold up...don't buy all that stuff yet.

a friend of mine uses one for live shows...however he's conveniently on tour right now and i've never gotten the model. HOWEVER, i do remember seeing it for sale on the internet for about $400...as i kind of want one of these but still find it odd to have 6 pedals (or however many it had) coming with me on flights.

i'm searching now by memory (this was over a year ago!)...and i found some hardware here that is customizable?!: http://g-force.info/midiboards.htm
however...it's quite a strange site. maybe i'm just too used to looking at sparkled up pricegrabber pages... (continues search at 6:30am....)

...you could nab this if you're ****ing insane: http://shoppingstore.jobbankusa.com/Musical-Instruments/product18688-5.htm ...haha...

damn. well i can't find this...now you have me curious..

however i've posted an image i took from one of my friend's tours where you can see the pedal...so i cropped it out (it's still kind of grainy)...but at least now that i found the image i know i'm not crazy!
