Best Midi Foot Controller For Logic Pro's Guitar Amp Pro? Options

[bammbammrawks]

I am about to begin my life as Mac user and a Mac musician using Logic Pro.
I've got a couple a good M-audio keyboard controllers but I do play guitar as well and will be needing a solid and easy to use usb or midi foot controller for Guitar Amp Pro.
I'll want to do the usual, change banks and patches, bring effects in and out (on or off) and be able to use volume type pedals for wah - wah and modulations.
Any one out there have any experience or suggestions.
Thank you,
BAMM

Can't remember exactly the details but in terms of sturdiness and flexibility of use, the ART came first when i did some comparaisons (the Yamaha MFC10 seems also to be a very good footcontroller but with only one pedal and at a higher price).
The two only downside I see : 1) plastic of buttons is said to hedge in when old, but I still have to experience it myself because I bought a first gen X-15 and got no troubles so far. 2) external PSU, though I may mod it as one guy did i.e. using the available below space to defenitively fix a power supply there.
Programming this unit can look confusing at first sight (mainly because the manual does not make things that clear) but if you sum up each step one after the other you'll find it straightforward.
Again when I compaired (and this included the Behringer and the Roland) i was looking for a device that would be (in order of precedence) :
1) affordable
2) really flexible in use
3) better with 2 expression pedals
4) sturdy

The ART also feature a bypass mode where you can use a switch to change modes on any guitar/bass amps, pretty neat.
