The JET Pedals MCX is a three-button MIDI controller: a compact footswitch unit that sends MIDI commands to other gear, rather than an effect that shapes your tone itself. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes it as "a three button fully editable midi controller designed to be used in conjunction with our user friendly web editor for sending and saving data to the controller"1. In practice, that means the three footswitches can be assigned to send whatever MIDI messages your setup needs, and the assignments are made in a browser-based editor rather than by digging through menus on the pedal.
It belongs to the MIDI controller category, and it sits naturally alongside JET Pedals' own MIDI-capable units, such as the Unity6, the U6 Trio, the Traffic Control and the Micro HX1.
What it does
The MCX gives you three footswitches of MIDI control. Because it is a controller and not an effect, it does not process your guitar signal; its job is to send MIDI data, for example to change presets, toggle functions or switch scenes on MIDI-equipped pedals and rack units. JET Pedals positions it as a companion to its own products, describing it as designed to be used in conjunction with the company's gear1.
Editing and configuration
The defining feature of the MCX is that it is fully editable, and the editing happens in JET Pedals' web editor. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the workflow as "sending and saving data to the controller" through that editor1, so you configure the buttons on a connected device and save the settings to the MCX itself. The maker's English user manual is published online at docs.jetpedals.com1.
The MCX is listed with an analog circuit type1. As a MIDI controller it sends data rather than passing audio, so this describes its circuit design rather than any tone-shaping behavior.

Questions
What is the JET Pedals MCX?
The MCX is a three-button MIDI controller made by JET Pedals. According to the maker, it is fully editable and is designed to be used together with JET Pedals' own units, with a web editor used for sending and saving data to the controller. It is aimed at players who want foot control over MIDI-capable gear without a large floor controller.
How do you edit the JET Pedals MCX?
JET Pedals describes the MCX as fully editable, and the editing is done through the company's web editor. The web editor is used for sending and saving data to the controller, so button assignments and settings are configured on a computer or device with a browser and then transferred to the MCX rather than programmed only from the footswitches themselves.
