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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 .
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
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
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
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 TH-cam videos and much more obviously
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.
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?
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 ?
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.
I use two heads for stereo. Does anyone know if this pedal is capable of switching the channels of both heads simultaneously with one switch? Both are two switch pedals, a Marshall and a Bugera.....thanks in advance.
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.

Will it work in spark amp?
"THAT'S ANNOYING!"... Lol... Love your videos! I always have a fun time wathing them. Thanks!
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
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

that's exactly what I need.....more stuff, thanx buddy
Video quality is top notch. Good jorb Colin. Great footswitch as well. Never realized I needed one of these.
‘But if I press the footswitch number one....... Pedals’
My favourite line of the video
can you one switch to loop parts of your TH-cam video?....if that is the case I will not need my viadami!
Thanks For the TIP!, This Made my Pedal and AMP Control better! This made me a better guitarist, Keep on making videos like this!
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.
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
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
Great video thanks. Reakky cleared up some questions I had before buying the Airstep
Shoutout to the bottle of Laphroaig. One of my absolute favs. Love your vids. Cheers bro
Great solution! This was needed for a long time!!
Thank you, sir, you're talented and geek when it comes to gear.
0:45: I need a footswitch for my footswitches
Wow! Those two MIDI out are killer!
And this was the last time Colin was ever seen on TH-cam. Some say he is still recovering from setting up biasFX.
Your videos are some of my favorite! You are the shizznit bro.
My amps footswitch is sold seperately for like $250. Definitely checking this out!
Finally a useful solution for using iPad apps. Thanks🤘🤘🤘🤘
Man that thing is slick. I don't need it but I sure do want it! 🤣
Robust, classy, indestructible; SOLD!
Modern day Wayne's World, love it.
This guy is a treasure
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.
You’re the BEST Colin
Gotta say, that looks freaking awesome.
Love the way you say footswetchies
very good. the guy is alert as my morning coffee
I checked out the website and there's like 7 or 8 airsteps to choose from. I don't know what to get
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.
ooooof that delay when hw rocks the pedal back and forth when connected to the ipad.
How was the latency on just channel switching?
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???
I love this channel you have great content collin
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
so you have to pre set the saves first that you like, then by pressing each button you get those saved presets
This is so cool. I'll definitely get these at some point.
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.
Hi Colin, you sounded quite excited about this one!
Just finally got around to purchasing today, and the discount code worked. \m/
I am already a subscriber to your channel since the beginning, I am happy that your channel is already growing. You deserve it.
It is unbelievably silly that Boss didn't bring out foot switch for the waza air headphones
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.

Wonder if this can control a Katana and/or a Spark.
Have a spark amp but would it be able to create a Hank Marvin Shadows sound with echo and reverb mixture ?
Can please do a video on how to fill pickguard screw holes.
good, but where are trs connectors for loop? All my pedals are not midi capable
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 want something to stop n start the keystep pro sequencer. or stop and start on the Roland TR8s you think it will do that?
Hi just received Xsonic spark foot pedal how do you setup a sound similar to Hank Marvin with echo and reverb.
Thanks
That’s impressive, nice piece of gear
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
amazing! i wonder if this can replace the dreaded blackstar fs-14, which is a well known POS
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! Does the MeloAudio work directly with the Spark Practice Amp by positive grid?

This like the IRig BlueBoard but with a crap ton more useable features and FAR better build quality !!!
Will this work with Prime Loop Community? Or Ableton Live? Thank you...
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.

Hi there need to know if the air step works with a peavey mini mega bass amp please?
How do you connect a tuner pedal with this setup?
can you use Footswitch for Multi Fx Pedal like zoomG1x ??
Would this work in tandem with the Roland Cube? Cause the cube has had a switch for years similar to this
Great video review , I have a question is it works with “Hotone Jogg”?

Great video, will it work with a spark 40 ?
Yes

We need a tutorial video of this controling the HX Stomp!!!!!
Can I change 2 amplifier guitar channels AT THE SAME TIME with this pedal?
Can I elimanate my pedal board and use this in conjunction with another larger amp?
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.
Can you set your own clean tone you want then switch to a grunge you make?
I use two heads for stereo. Does anyone know if this pedal is capable of switching the channels of both heads simultaneously with one switch? Both are two switch pedals, a Marshall and a Bugera.....thanks in advance.
Would this work with a boss katana
I assume the trs latching will work but not sure if it can access the other functions of the katana, would love to know too
Which Camera do you use ? I like it.
Is it possible to control the rock drummer app for iOS via airstep?
