I have to steady myself with my other foot (even though I'm sitting down anyway)! Slightly awkward, but I'm used to it now. Other than that I find it [Gordius LG] a great unit, particularly in terms of size and weight. The FCB1010 is a pain when travelling a lot!

 

 Actually Andy and Steve, what solved this problem for me was mounting the gordius on an angled pedal board surface, in my case I put it on a pedal train pro aluminum frame board, not exactly flight worthy but not overly heavy for land travel. But any angled surface will work even a ply wood one you made your self. It doesn’t completely eradicate the issue but it helps a lot.

PS Hey Steve isn’t resampling grand?  Two looper (in series) is always better than one J
