X-Gear seamlessly integrates with the StompIO foot controller/audio interface for complete control of your entire rig. Operate every element of X-Gear with no need to connect your screen, keyboard or mouse, so you can switch patches, work your pedals, and tweak parameters just like you are using real gear. Every parameter of every model in X-Gear is immediately available for control, through the 10 on board switches, 6 rotary encoders and 6 external expression pedals/switches, with preset numbers, values and labels immediately displayed on the StompIO's 2 large displays and no need for tedious configurations.
