    I bought my TS Mega branded as Harley Benton MP-500 on Thomann for 250€ which went down to around 200€ now.

    So more or less same price as XTONE Pro.

    Also, does the MIDI out also transmit the same MIDI data?, Can you send Control Change and Program Change?, MIDI Notes?, how configurable are the MIDI options?, I like that it has 2 expression pedals and if the do full 0-127 it'd be great

    Hope you can comment on that now that you have tried both, Thanks!

    Yes you can configure the MP-500 midi functionality. The expression pedal range also isn’t perfect. Not always locking up at 0-127. At least you can adjust the range in AUM which I do. So that’s not a problem for me either. Oh and I’m actually using the mini expression pedal by Melo Audio to get the best compatibility (and same style and compactness).

    Thanks a lot for all your responses and info, I'm going to try it as soon as I have some extra cash, it really seems better than the Xtone Pro, no wonder why the Xtone Pro has so many paid sponsored videos on youtube, I already put my comments on most of them and luckily some people appreciated the detailed description of these issues and didn't bought it, besides the obvious bugs and issues with the Xtone their customer support is horrible and hostile

    Cheers!

    Yeah these sponsored videos can be very misleading and are horribly generic! When you look for real life use cases or technical details you won’t find anything. If you watch one you know them all.

    I’m glad I could help a bit!

    I’m surprised that these devices are still quite rare and not very popular. I’ve been waiting for a device like that since 2012 and was over the moon when I found out about the first ones 😄

    But yeah both TS Mega and XTONE are produced by small companies in china with rather bad support. But I’m not too surprised about that. I’m still glad that someone makes theses devices so cheers to all of them. And hopefully they will hit the spot one day and get it right.

    Yes, it was really helpful to read all your reviews, the only reason I probably won't buy the TS MEGA-Harley Benton is because of the lack of MIDI momentary control, I really need it for what I do, simple toggle on/off is not enough

    The company that should put some effort on creating a device like this is Behringer, they already have the tech and are always affordable and with reasonable quality, if they combine in a portable unit their U-Phoria interfaces with the MIDI functionality of their FCB1010 they have a winner for sure!, or at least they should upgrade their trusty FCB1010 with better switches and USB, that should be a winner too, all the other MIDI controllers that have USB and comparable MIDI functionality are twice the price of a new FCB1010, only the Blackstar Live Logic comes close but it has only 6 switches and you still have to put the extra expression pedals

    Thanks mate!

  • just snagged the Harley Benton MP500, (TS audio Tone Shifter) and want to get it running with AUM and trigger the plugins. anyone have experience with this?

    I have the MP100, which I believe is the same for midi control without the audio. On that you can set the foot switches to be either toggle or momentary (in the 2 custom user presets). HOWEVER, my experience is that there is a slight delay on the release message which causes havoc in Quantiloop if you want to use a ‘long press’. You can configure your way around this though, for example using a separate switch to clear a loop instead of ‘long press’.

    EDIT: just looked at the MP500 manual, like the MP100 you can definitely turn off toggle for momentary control.

  • Hi !!!
    I have the xtone pro and I want to know if I can connect other extra switches such as the hotone ampero switch or the Rock Stock Dual Footswitch, since I am using the biasfx2 and I would like to have a dedicated switch specifically to change guitars in the guitar match .

    thanks!!
