They need to add an additional option to have a connection hub kind of device that's designed to sit in your amp rack or by your PC/Interface rig. It seems a bit silly to have to use the full featured footswitch to do this when I have no intention of actually using it as a footswitch and need an additional lite wireless pedal to do that.
I have a Lexicon MPX R1 footswitch unit, which is probably the predecessor coming closest to the Airstep unit, combining MIDI control, an expression pedal, tap-tempo switch, relay-controlled analog loops, display, and a bunch of other features, in one LARGE externally-powered floorboard. Tremendously comprehensive and flexible unit....for 20 years ago. The Airstep has clearly leapfrogged it, in terms of flexibility, rechargeable battery and blue-tooth capability. Being smaller is also quite handy.
This is a brilliant video Colin. You’re always so informative about what you’re talking about but with this one you really went above and beyond for the beginner guitarist too. It’s a brilliant piece of kit but your explanation is what makes it. Have yourself a Bucky bomb on me to celebrate!
Ok...great review...real issues Id like to ask about; 1. Have you used it at a gig with eg a couple of hundred phones around? 2. On the converse...how loud are the switches? Cheers
I have a love hate relationship with this channel. He's SO good at commercials for products that I always feel like I want to buy something I'm not going to use
i think the lite version is the most compelling. i could use that to control guitar pro on the big screen for learning, or of course amp sims like neuraldsp's. I think the lite one should still have the EXP input though.
That's quite a product. I don't really need it but I think you do a great enough job with your videos I'll watch basically anything.....even flute stuff.
Thank you!!! I’m looking for a simple way to play sound effects (like kick drum, tambourine, etc) with my acoustic guitar. I want something I can control from my phone, and plug into a Bluetooth speaker AND amp. Would this be a good choice? I don’t need variable pedals, but I’d like at least 3 foot switches.
I’ve got massive bug at moment my HT60 has fx loop from back amp itself but what’s even more annoying is foot switch comes with it doesn’t even have FX switch on it. Just got clean/distortion.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong. All I wanted was the for the Airstep to let me pick between presets in Guitar Rig 7 on the fly for playing live (at home) but it doesn't work. Can't 'learn midi' or even control abelton. Using a PC and the Airstep shows up in MidiBerry.
That’s wild , I’ve never tried plugins , I’ve got a kemper stage I’m tired of it’s pain to me plus you need the computer anyway for rig manager I’m seriously looking at getting rid of the kemper it’s to much .
Strong "Wait! There's more!" Energy ;) still, great demo. Interesting product and if I didn't have a DIY macro keyboard with footswitches already I'd be interested. But I'll keep this one in mind in case I need more midi options than what my GE-300 has to offer
Just discovered this. Great video. How easy would it be to set up the Airstep lite for use with my Boss Waza Air which is all I use my guitar with compared to buying the dedicated Airstep BW edition? The Lite version would have the advantage of being able to control RUclips videos and much more obviously
Sounds like there is a bit of delay in the switching between effects, wouldn’t be a deal breaker for most but it would annoy me, looks a good bit of kit tho
Great video and very detailed explanation as always. Learned a lot from watching your channel 🤘🏼 im just curious and wondering about this pedal and have seen your video about it. Im just wondering if you can help me out? Seeing that the airstep and 2 extra TRS footswitch jack that can be physically connected to the amp. I have a ENGL Fireball which need 2 set of Z4 footswitch to control its channel and volume boost and another for its FX loop and mid boost. Im wondering if the airstep would be able to control the amp switches? The z4 footswitch is a tank and having two of them is a bit problematic with space😅 Thanking you in advance
Does this have the same youtube functionality as a Airstep Play or Vidami? (Start/stop/back/slow/loop, all 5 of these) and still use this as a DAW controller? NEVER MIND! I watched the video until the end. However, can you set up a loop?
I use Neural DSP when writing or just jamming but I use Cakewalk for recording. Thinking this might be a good option because I would like to get a couple effects pedals to use in conjunction with the software.
On a Vox ac30c2- Can I use this as an ABY and for turning off the reverb and trem at the same time? This would solve a lot of issues but I’d also like to see on board volume control with tiny rear knobs
Thank you sharing this very instructive video. I am buying one to control an audio player on my pc. Can this used for both both midi control and HID control at the same time ? How to switch between the two if this is possible ? Thanks.
Thanks for this video ! Does anyobody here knows if it's possible to store your programmed scenes (whether you did this with a software on a pc or with a dmx console/controler), and then transfert your programmed scenes on a usb key, and while you're on show, plug this key in a footswich or midi controler that allows it (just to get rid of the dmx controler or laptop) ? And then the footswich will only read the usb key to trigger your lights stuff ?
One thing would have been nice is to allow switching between the 5 presets with a Footswitch and not just the app alone . The button on back is nice but not practical while playing
Interested. I could use it with my Pod Go since I can add two more switches via 1/4” for two additional pedals and Bluetooth turn music pages on my iPad Pro but I’m not sure what to use the fifth button for. I will have to look at the midi function for the Pod Go and see if there is anything of interest.
Curious if you still think this is best controller for all the things you showed and a question... Do you think that the airstep could be used to send midi to a drum machine and then have the ability to change drum patterns and turn off /on fills? Id like to be able to foot controll an elektron syntakt for drums with foot switches while I play guitar.
Would I be able to set this up to work with my EVH 5150 100w head? It uses a cable that I think is special I don't know. My pedal switcher broke and now I can't use the effects pedal as the pedal is the only way to turn it on and off.

Will it work in spark amp?
"THAT'S ANNOYING!"... Lol... Love your videos! I always have a fun time wathing them. Thanks!
0:06 'Foot sweatchies' i love the scottish accent
Scottish? I thought he is Italian.
I just love how the YT captions "hear" you accent as Ear Step instead - so from now onwards, that is what the device shall forever be known as
You always explain things in great detail, yet keep things understandable to players of all levels. Thanks again Colin!!!
I love that we can tell when you’re legitimately psyched about a product. So exciting. This thing looks cool as hell

that's exactly what I need.....more stuff, thanx buddy
0:45: I need a footswitch for my footswitches
This is a brilliant video Colin. You’re always so informative about what you’re talking about but with this one you really went above and beyond for the beginner guitarist too. It’s a brilliant piece of kit but your explanation is what makes it.
Have yourself a Bucky bomb on me to celebrate!
May the mighty algorithm shine its light upon you.
Ok...great review...real issues Id like to ask about;
1. Have you used it at a gig with eg a couple of hundred phones around?
2. On the converse...how loud are the switches?
Cheers
And this was the last time Colin was ever seen on RUclips. Some say he is still recovering from setting up biasFX.
‘But if I press the footswitch number one....... Pedals’
My favourite line of the video
Video quality is top notch. Good jorb Colin. Great footswitch as well. Never realized I needed one of these.
Man that thing is slick. I don't need it but I sure do want it! 🤣
Great video thanks. Reakky cleared up some questions I had before buying the Airstep
can you one switch to loop parts of your RUclips video?....if that is the case I will not need my viadami!
It is unbelievably silly that Boss didn't bring out foot switch for the waza air headphones
very good. the guy is alert as my morning coffee
Great solution! This was needed for a long time!!
I have a love hate relationship with this channel. He's SO good at commercials for products that I always feel like I want to buy something I'm not going to use
I checked out the website and there's like 7 or 8 airsteps to choose from. I don't know what to get
Your videos are some of my favorite! You are the shizznit bro.
i think the lite version is the most compelling. i could use that to control guitar pro on the big screen for learning, or of course amp sims like neuraldsp's. I think the lite one should still have the EXP input though.
Finally a useful solution for using iPad apps. Thanks🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you, sir, you're talented and geek when it comes to gear.
Thanks For the TIP!, This Made my Pedal and AMP Control better! This made me a better guitarist, Keep on making videos like this!
My amps footswitch is sold seperately for like $250. Definitely checking this out!
That's quite a product. I don't really need it but I think you do a great enough job with your videos I'll watch basically anything.....even flute stuff.
Shoutout to the bottle of Laphroaig. One of my absolute favs. Love your vids. Cheers bro
so you have to pre set the saves first that you like, then by pressing each button you get those saved presets
Hi Colin, you sounded quite excited about this one!
Wow! Those two MIDI out are killer!
This comment brought to you by 🦙s, 🦙s make Glascow! 👍 (take that ya pesky algorithm!)
For the glory of the Algorithm!
Who’s Al ? And how’s his rhythm go?
All i see is boxes with an X in them. I guess those were some sort of smileys on iPhone?

@@JC-11111 they are llamas, get a computer ya hippie ...
I'm still getting used to you with short hair. Or am I just jealous cos I'm bald?
at first I thought those were 2 different channels
@@KrumpusPlunk you mean like two amp channels?
The good lord only made a select few perfect heads, the rest he put hair on.
@@Bagledog5000 when I think about how long it took me to find a good fitting bike helmet, im glad about my hair ;)
I love this channel you have great content collin
Love the way you say footswetchies
This is so cool. I'll definitely get these at some point.
Thank you!!! I’m looking for a simple way to play sound effects (like kick drum, tambourine, etc) with my acoustic guitar. I want something I can control from my phone, and plug into a Bluetooth speaker AND amp. Would this be a good choice? I don’t need variable pedals, but I’d like at least 3 foot switches.
Are you able to program another set of presets other than just 4? Perhaps with a toggle button to shift over another 4 sets of presets???
Modern day Wayne's World, love it.

ooooof that delay when hw rocks the pedal back and forth when connected to the ipad.
How was the latency on just channel switching?
Wonder if this can control a Katana and/or a Spark.
I want to hear a Butcher impression from The Boys. Call me Hughie 🤞🤞
That’s wild , I’ve never tried plugins , I’ve got a kemper stage I’m tired of it’s pain to me plus you need the computer anyway for rig manager I’m seriously looking at getting rid of the kemper it’s to much .
good, but where are trs connectors for loop? All my pedals are not midi capable
Strong "Wait! There's more!" Energy ;) still, great demo. Interesting product and if I didn't have a DIY macro keyboard with footswitches already I'd be interested. But I'll keep this one in mind in case I need more midi options than what my GE-300 has to offer
Great video! Does the MeloAudio work directly with the Spark Practice Amp by positive grid?
That’s impressive, nice piece of gear
199 for the light
279 for the standard
399 for the pair
Pretty damn cool, but for those prices, I'll just deal with the cables!
Have you every priced other MIDI units? Apparently not!
You’re the BEST Colin

Can please do a video on how to fill pickguard screw holes.
Sounds like there is a bit of delay in the switching between effects, wouldn’t be a deal breaker for most but it would annoy me, looks a good bit of kit tho
Now there’s some beat poetry
I just got an ad from someone who had the exact voice as you XD.
shame it doesn't have "expression out". here's hoping they make a bigger version with more I/O
Great video, will it work with a spark 40 ?
Yes
I would love to see you review the harley benton stompcontrol 4 iso.
its a footswitch that also has a intergrated powersupply, thats pretty neat.
Just finally got around to purchasing today, and the discount code worked. \m/
This like the IRig BlueBoard but with a crap ton more useable features and FAR better build quality !!!
Great video and very detailed explanation as always. Learned a lot from watching your channel 🤘🏼 im just curious and wondering about this pedal and have seen your video about it.

We need a tutorial video of this controling the HX Stomp!!!!!
I use Neural DSP when writing or just jamming but I use Cakewalk for recording. Thinking this might be a good option because I would like to get a couple effects pedals to use in conjunction with the software.
I'll buy this because I love fooooooot switches.

Can I change 2 amplifier guitar channels AT THE SAME TIME with this pedal?
amazing! i wonder if this can replace the dreaded blackstar fs-14, which is a well known POS
Great video review , I have a question is it works with “Hotone Jogg”?
Thanks for this video !

Have a spark amp but would it be able to create a Hank Marvin Shadows sound with echo and reverb mixture ?
Wonder if this will work the spark go??
Hi just received Xsonic spark foot pedal how do you setup a sound similar to Hank Marvin with echo and reverb.
Thanks
i want something to stop n start the keystep pro sequencer. or stop and start on the Roland TR8s you think it will do that?
Can you set your own clean tone you want then switch to a grunge you make?
Can I elimanate my pedal board and use this in conjunction with another larger amp?
One thing would have been nice is to allow switching between the 5 presets with a Footswitch and not just the app alone . The button on back is nice but not practical while playing
the pedal in the guitar is actually kinda cool.
How do you connect a tuner pedal with this setup?
Would this work in tandem with the Roland Cube? Cause the cube has had a switch for years similar to this
Will this work with Prime Loop Community? Or Ableton Live? Thank you...
Can AIR-STEP XSonic switches the chords of the Yamaha arranger keyboard
Interested. I could use it with my Pod Go since I can add two more switches via 1/4” for two additional pedals and Bluetooth turn music pages on my iPad Pro but I’m not sure what to use the fifth button for. I will have to look at the midi function for the Pod Go and see if there is anything of interest.
would this be compatible with a Mesa Mini rectifier? Just to change channels and activate FX loop.
Cool ass product and great demo. Also, I see the 99 Neo's and I've been on the fence for a few months on picking them up, would you recommend them?
I am already a subscriber to your channel since the beginning, I am happy that your channel is already growing. You deserve it.
could i connect these unit with zoom ms50g via usb port?
