Contoller choice

Hello all

 

Looking in to purchasing a new controller an have settled on a used Zero88, Fat Frog or Leap Frog. I can get the Leap or for a bit more or get a Fat frog that has only been used 2 times. Where as the Leapfrog is listed as good condition but has scratches and is missing a some screwes at base.

 

I am up grading from the small Showdesigner 1. So the advantages of all the bells and whistles on these boards is new to me. I am jazzed about the increased depth of control the boards will give me But I really dont need more than 12 in-tellies and have no need for or 4 universes.

 

I will run smaller rock shows with maybe 6 movers, 4 scanners, an array of LEDs and conventionals. Much of the time will be spent on the road as well.

 

Does a litte guy like me really need what the Leap Frog has over the Fat Frog?

thanks

Hi John

 

If I was you I would go for the Leap Frog. You already have 10 movers and if you have LEDs you can run these as fixtures as well. The effects library on the Leap Frog is also more advanced and offers you effects like rainbows which with LEDs is a quick way to get colour chases etc happening. (I am assuming you are talking about the new generation of Leap Frogs)

 

Finally the Fat Frog is a discontinued product. We do still offer spares and we do offer technical support but at the end of the day the Leap Frog is a current product still fully in the development cycle.
