Rich- Footswitches are on the way to Thoroughbred and other reputable stocking Oberheim dealers. (Reputable Stockings? Sounds like a Zappa tune...) I would recommend getting an EDP, natch, and both Thoroughbred (813-889-3874)and Bananas at Large (415-457-7600 ask for Rick)are excellent sources for all things OB. Enjoy!!
