   When I see controls, particularly lots of controls on effects, I already   
   know that fingers are more important than feet for operating them ;)

   I was attracted to effects because of the sounds that result - I didn't even   
   care that they were marketed as 'guitar effects' and I intended to use them   
   for keys ;)

   Shouldn't make any difference. The on/off switch is still there and that's   
   really the only part that should be made remote foot switch controllable.

   Just because it's digital doesn't mean it's easy - and it's often if not   
   mostly, the opposite!

   Customizing is usually a sizeable job, nice when it's finally done, but   
   often a lot of work.

   Not much in the way of choices - Bummer!
