Critical CX 2R?

[SKreitlow]

Hey guys, anyone using the Cx2R with the wireless foot switch? I've heard nothing but good about the power supply but haven't heard anything about how the wireless foot switch works. Thinking about picking up the combo pack but I figured I'd see if anyone has any negative to say before I blow $400

Everyone that I have talked to that had the foot pedal loves it. Although unless you use coils or need a lot of presets then I don't see the point of the Cx2 over the Cx1

i use now the cx2r and sell my ems 400 , you can change the settings very fast and easy ,its small and you feel the power on the machine. I thinks its has more power on the critical as the eikon.
The wireless pedal is comfortable and you have not a lot wires on you working area. I would not missing this pedal . The critical is the money really worth !

is there really that much difference between eikon and critical ??

[OwlsDen]

The newer criticals can push more amps. It can make a big difference.

WORTH EVERY CENT ! had it for about a year now, getting the new generation. Pedal is a great size, doesn't slide around - works great.

i have the feel the new critical run the rotary with more power. On my EMS 400 i line with 8 to 9 volts with the dd rotary . With the Critical i get the same results at 6 to 7 volts. My Gen8 is running good with 6v and very powerfull at 8,5 .
Now i have to set the volts on a lot of machines lower to get the same power and not to much. The Pedal has a good size and stick on the ground with a soft and pleasant pressure to run the machines. You can work without a pedal by pressing the button in the middle. The Display is big and light ..good to read.

I used to run the basic 10 turn Eikon had that thing for years. But after a few years I felt it got soft. Like it wasn't putting out the same power. So I went back to old faithful and bought a national edge ps. I love that ps I've had it about two years and still running strong but I think someone at the old shop I worked at must have used my station and knocked it off the counter cause one day the knob was all bent to one side and loose. Ever since its been a pain to adjust on the fly so

Whoops, sorry about the double post I accidentally hit send on my phone when I was trying to edit ☺. So to Finnish what I was sayings my National ps's knob is jacked up and I want something new that's not an Eikon as there longevity is suspect in my eyes. I'm sold on the critical and the wireless foot switch sounds awesome though like my buddy said any time your relying on frequencies I worry about reliability. But I just saw the foot switch will run off a clip cord also so I'm sold. Now to decide if I'm gonna order it now or wait for ink and irons to try and pick one up. Thanks guys for the info. That's why I love this place.
