Thanks, Mark and Charles for your replies... Well, I bought some new switches and installed them... they're similar to the Radio Shack ones you suggested, black plastic and they cost me $2.50 each... As I stood in the store I held the switches in my hand and I clicked on them to see how loud they sound and they sounded a lot quieter than the switches that came with the unit... But now that I have tested it out with the new switches, I find they are still too loud... Part of the problem is once the switches are bolted to the metal case of the foot controller, the case acts as a resonator and amplifies the clicking... No way am I going to create music with a looping tool that places a grossly audible click at the end of each loop cycle... I just ordered the switches Travis recommended from Mouser (EDP replacement switches made by Mountain Switch)... I haven't heard how they sound, but I'll give them a shot... If it's still too loud to use for live-miked acoustic instruments, then I will just sell this whole stupid 2880 and the foot pedal and all the CF cards I bought on eBay... I'm sure some electronic looping musician could get some decent use out ot it, but I guess until I hear from someone that there is a looper with a foot controller that doesn't make noise, I am an acoustic musician who is just out of luck (I suppose I could also tape a contact mic to my horn instead of using a free standing dynamic or condensor mic - it would sound like crap but at least it wouldn't pick up the clickety click of the looper)... I sure hope those EDP replacement switches are quiet enough to do the trick... I suppose I could try and learn MIDI, and try out the Behringer, but I dunno, I'm not so good with high-tech stuff, MIDI intimidates me...
