What are MOD 100 users using as a footswitch. I'm going to use my MidiMate when it arrives, but it's a little too big for me to use live. Anyone using something with a smaller footprint that can handle "6 channel" switching?

I'm using a Rivera HeadMaster, which was actually designed to control the Rivera Knucklehead amp. But it's perfect - it's got 6 switches which you can use for each channel, but you can also use it as a standard MIDI controller (it has UP and DOWN switches). It has 2 MIDI OUT ports - one standard port, and one "special" port to hookup to the Knucklehead. That "special" port accepts power on pins 1&3 (power that it assumes is coming from a special MIDI port on the Knucklehead). The only problem is that the voltage supplied by the MOD100 on pins 6&7, and pins 1&3 is not compatible with the HeadMaster (one is AC, one is DC), so I had a special MIDI cable made that has a 2.1mm pigtail on the amp end so that I can plugin the AC transformer into the MIDI cable behind the amp somewhere, and send that power to pins 1&3 on the HeadMaster (so I won't need power for it out on the stage). The HeadMaster also has a 2.1mm DC Out port to power another pedal out on the floor.

I've also heard others mention the "Midi Moose", but I've never checked those out.
