Here's what Disaster Area says about the DMC-3XL Gen3:

The DMC-3XL Gen3 is the next generation compact MIDI controller from Disaster Area. We’ve added lots of features, connectivity, and capability, making the DMC-3XL Gen3 a next-level upgrade for your pedalboard control needs.

What’s New in Gen3?

More MIDI Control – Control up to four MIDI devices plus any combination of Disaster Area pedalboard switching systems. Note that enabling any of the looper modes will disable control for the fourth MIDI device.

Improved LED Indication and Display – We’ve moved the LEDs to the center of the pedal, putting all of the info you need in one place. The LEDs now show the bypass / engage status of the individual MIDI devices, the looper state, and the clock or tap tempo rate. The display has also been upgraded, and now features full alphanumeric capability. Both display and LEDs may be dimmed in the setup menu to suit indoor or outdoor venues. Each user preset may be assigned a unique 8-character name, which will scroll on the display when the preset is loaded.

Built-in SMARTClock – The DMC-3XL Gen3 adds in support for sending MIDI Clock or tap tempo to your connected devices, without any additional hardware. Our innovative MultiJack connector can operate as an expression pedal input, tap tempo footswitch input, MIDI output, or isolated tap tempo output. The DMC-3XL Gen2 can send either a global tempo / BPM for all presets, or a new tempo / BPM for each preset.

User-Definable CC Command Mode – Based on customer requests, we’ve added the CC mode that allows the user to define any two commands for the left and right footswitches. Send one-shot, momentary, or toggle CC messages, MIDI notes, or change banks on your Strymon devices in this handy mode. (requires firmware v1.01 or higher!)

Optional gHOST Compatiblity – The DMC-3XL Gen3 can control an external USB-MIDI device including the popular Zoom MS-50G, MS-60B, and MS-70CDR using its native USB port. Connect your USB-MIDI device to the DMC-3XL Gen3 USB port through our gHOST adaptor, set the USB mode, and you’re all set! The DMC-3XL Gen3 can power most USB-MIDI devices, but please note that the power supply you’re using must be sufficient to power the DMC plus the connected device. Powering a USB device may require as much as 500mA, so be sure your power supply can handle the load.

Separate Expression and Roller Configuration – hundreds of players all over the world are in love with the expression rollers on their DMC-3XL Gen2 controllers. It’s a great way to add expression control without giving up valuable pedalboard real estate, but in the Gen2 the roller and expression input are connected so that you can only use one at a time. In the Gen3, we&r

Expression

An expression pedal is a dynamic control device that allows musicians to manipulate various effects in real time by adjusting parameters with their foot. Unlike a standard effects pedal with on/off switches or knobs, an expression pedal provides continuous control over settings such as volume, wah, delay time, modulation depth, or gain, depending on the connected effect unit.

Expression pedals are commonly used with multi-effects processors, digital delays, and modulation pedals, offering hands-free adjustments for greater musical flexibility. Some well-known expression pedals include the Boss EV-30, Mission Engineering EP-1, and the Dunlop DVP4, all of which provide smooth, responsive control over a wide range of effects, making them essential for live performances and dynamic playing styles.

Guitar FX

Just Pedals is a new Guitar Effect Pedals Marketplace – We feature new and used Guitar Effect pedals from different sellers, to purchase online from the UK.

MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a communication protocol that allows electronic musical devices, such as effects pedals, multi-effects processors, amplifiers, and synthesizers, to interact and control each other. In the world of guitar effects, MIDI is often used to switch presets, control parameters in real time, and synchronise effects with other gear, offering seamless integration and expanded functionality.

Many modern pedals, like the Strymon Timeline, Eventide H9, and Boss ES-8, feature MIDI In/Out connectivity, enabling players to control multiple effects with a single footswitch or external MIDI controller. This makes MIDI an essential tool for musicians looking to simplify their rig, automate complex setups, or integrate their pedalboard with digital workstations and live performance systems.
