Re: Echoplex Footpedal not responding

[Adrian Bartholomew <adrian@bartholomusic.com>]

i stand corrected about the edp in pedalboard thing. i didnt state any other facts.
but u DID adapt and made a pedalboard to fit ur edp didnt u?
plus the 1010 COMES with 2 expression controllers. is it that u dont have cont controller pedals that also take up space?
PLUS, with more buttons on the 1010 than the native edp, u could have the extra ones change programs on ur midi effect unit(s) if u have.
seems like a worthwhile footprint investment to me.
