I use a MMGT16 as the controller for my Fractal Audio AxeFX III. I've been a longtime user of MMGT pedals and of Fractal Audio equipment. This combination is incredibly useful and flexible. For the record: I'm a regular old customer of both companies, and don't get any sort of endorsement deal. I'm just super satisfied with the great gear and support they both provide. I'm also an admin for the Fractal Audio Facebook page, but that's strictly a voluntary role.
This is the top of my board. I use a Pedaltrain Novo 32 as the pedalboard base, which nicely fits my MMGT16 and a pair of Fractal Audio EV-1 expression pedals.
Here's a shot of the back. All of the connections are right-angle, and all external connections are routed to a small patch panel on the side of the board.
Here is the side with the patch panel. There are four connections here:
(1) Neutrik PowerCon IN (powers the board), (2) Neutrik PowerCon OUT (provides power to my powered monitor wedge), (3) USB "A" which allows me to plug in a USB thumb drive to load settings to the MMGT16, and (4) USB "B" which connects the MMGT16 to my laptop for using the software editor. Note how tight the clearance is with the right-angle connectors on the back of the MMGT16. When I'm on tour, I put a short piece of square-tube aluminum on the rear edge of the board, which is held in place with the velcro. This is a bit of overkill, given that the back edge of the Novo 32 is about 3 1/2 inches tall, and there is a good gap there between he rear edge and connectors, but... the world is a strange place where unlikely things occur.
Also... you might be wondering why there isn't a MIDI connection on my patch panel. I use a WIDI (MIDI over Bluetooth) system for 2-way communication between the board and the rack. It's been reliable onstage to distances of 50 feet so far, and I love how much it simplifies my setup!
I have used MMGT pedals for a long time, and have provided tech support and setup for a number of musicians who have joined the MMGT family. The flexibility and programmability of these controllers is unparalleled.
