I've just bought one, so I'm really scratching the surface now. It's a
(used) Proel MS-16, 16 pedals basically sending MIDI program changes. It
works really well and seems built like a tank. Paid 80 eur.

I heard good things of the behringer FCB1010 but I never tried one. On
the good side is the absence of a power adapter, you plug just the power
cable into it. And it also has two pedals that send continuous
controllers. It's a bit more expensive (around 170 eur new, 100/120 used)
