its awesome. probably the best product Behringer ever made. i have
absolutely no complaints about mine. its just ... great. and its also
what jesse was using as he worked on the SL MIDI control system, which
helps a very tiny bit.

the power cable situation does have one downside for users who travel
between 110 and 240V countries ... way too easy to just grab an IEC
power cable from your hosts, and plug the FCB1010 in .... and fry the
whole thing. and yes, i did this in rotterdam several years ago :(
