Geez, you have a memory, richard... Thanks for the refresher... I now remember it all. So, believe it or not, I sold my RFC-1 and have regretted it ever since. I'm now in my third month of research for a good midi-pedal, but the more I get into max, the more I realize I might just need a few switches and expression pedals... Or god forbid, overkill it with an i-cube. The info here on the list has been helpful, but sometimes pushing the buttons is necessary, for instance, I have more clicks and pops from my dl4 pedals than I can handle when I'm recorded live to a stereo mic. Them things is loud as s**t. And now, believe it or not as well, I'm looking for an Boss SE-70... And researching the eclipse, and my lexicon g2 is the noisiest unit ever... It all comes around... Sometimes I think, never sell a piece of gear, and then I realize, we're just engaged in a big trading circle...
