Michael "WHIP" Wilton's Queensrÿche Digital Music Corporation Ground Control Pro MIDI Foot Controller

Digital Music Corporation Ground Control Pro MIDI Foot Controller formerly owned and used by Michael "WHIP" Wilton of Queensrÿche. This unit represents a piece of professional touring gear from one of progressive metal's most influential guitarists.

Used extensively throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, this Ground Control Pro was part of Wilton's arsenal during the era when MIDI-controlled rack systems became the standard for major touring guitar rigs. The controller exhibits the cosmetic wear expected from a professional piece of stage equipment that spent years on the road.

This unit powers up and functions as shown in the photos, displaying firmware version 1.12 on startup. WHIP added glow-in-the-dark paint rings around the footswitches, making operation easier on dark stages and during live performances.

The controller shows honest touring wear including scratches, scuffs, worn graphics around several switches, and a blemish/crack in the display lens. The display remains operational and readable. Please review all photos carefully for exact cosmetic condition.

• Digital Music Corporation Ground Control Pro MIDI Foot Controller
• Glow-in-the-dark footswitch markings
• No power supply included

Please review all photos carefully for exact cosmetic condition.
