I'll pipe in here with my 2 cents. The symptoms you describe sound to me like the "record" switch has gone bad (intermittently getting stuck) on the EFC-7. For me this has been the typical problem when a switch fails -- and more often than not it IS the "record" switch since that's the one you hit most. These parts are cheap and none-too-sturdy. However, they are nice and quiet -- no loud "clicks" when they're depressed like those sturdier metal footswitches common on many other effects. Replacements are easily obtained from Mouser Electronic Supply. For something like $17.00 you can buy a bulk bag of 'em that will be a lifetime supply. I've had my EDPs since the mid '90s and with semi-continual use (and heavy feet) these things break every so often. I'm glad I bought the big bag. Anyone who is even halfway competent with a soldering iron can replace these switches in just a few minutes. It's not hard at all. In fact, I'll go a little further . . . any musician who uses electricity owes it to themselves to learn basic soldering skills. It'll save you time, money and no end of grief in the long run. Anywho the part number is availble on the LD website somewhere. Check it out.
