I wasn't certain the FS-300 would work with either the reverse or the phrase shift settings, but it was 2am and any stores that might carry a FS-5U switch were closed and while I didn't know if it'd work, I doubted trying would kill either the RC-20 or the FS-300. (Besides, I splurged yesterday and picked up a great condition Morley EVO-1 oilcan echo/volume pedal along with the used RC-20). Since the FS-300 worked for one of the functions I thought I'd share the partial success with the list. Thanks much for the other switch suggestions you make, by the way, I appreciate them. On the off chance it'd matter I tried substituting a mono cord for the Digitech stereo cord - unsurprisingly the use of a mono cord caused the FS-300 to fail to work in both reverse and patch shift for the RC-20.
