A foot controller and sound engine in one, the Meinl FX20 Effects Pedal was designed for creative percussionists who want to get the most out of their limbs and for self-accompanying singer/songwriters who are looking to add some head-nodding excitement to acoustic shows. Users can easily tap into the 10 onboard percussion sounds or load in 10 custom sounds. For example, this sample-loaded foot controller lets players easily layer cajon grooves with tambourine, flesh out hip-hop rhythms with handclaps, or tap out four-on-the-floor kick drums for solo sets. Construction wise, The FX20's steel pedal has a great-feeling springback action that is easy on the feet and will be familiar to common pedal users. Plus, its dedicated Up and Down footswitches and A/B toggle allow players to quickly access their favorite percussion sounds between songs. Other pro features users at Sweetwater love include mono and stereo outputs for integration into virtually any setup and a dedicated 1/8-inch headphone output for easy monitoring onstage.
