It looks like they stopped making it, so you'd have to get to reverb or such, but this air turn stomp kit (https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-aud ... -stomp-kit) is great. Mines gotten HEAVY use the last six years or so and even heavier abuse with travel and is still going strong. Charge on it lasts a month or more. It's really well built. Haven't had any sort of performance failure with it either (or even rehearsal).

Re: Bluetooth page turners
I haven't used AirTurn products, but they look solid. In the past I used a DragonFly from Pageflip (https://www.pageflip.com/collections/pa ... /dragonfly) and it worked just fine. I switched over to a Stomp from Coda (https://www.codamusictech.com/products/ ... or-tablets), and I like it a bit better. A couple things I've come to appreciate in the Stomp product, which some others seem to lack:
1. Pass-through charging. You can connect your tablet to the pedal via USB and charge the tablet this way. Probably not a huge deal in most cases, but very handy for those times when you need it.
2. Quick (and hands-free) disconnect of the pedal. Since the pedal pairs as a keyboard to the tablet, you'll find that the on-screen keyboard is typically disabled while the pedal is being used. This is probably fine for performances, but in rehearsals, if you're making any sort of notes in forScore as you go, you may want to actually use the on-screen keyboard at times. For many pedals, this requires powering the device off or unpairing from the tablet, or some other awkward and hands-on intervention. On the Stomp pedal, you just simultaneously press both pedal buttons and you're disconnected, allowing use of the tablet's keyboard. Then repeat the button press to reconnect the pedal and keep on going.
The Stomp is also made in the USA, if that is something that matters to you.
