This is worrying... I've been considering buying a GC Vortex if I can raise
the capital (it's £90 rather than best-UK price of £250), but I don't know
if they'll just figure out "it's outside the warranty area" and ship me a
dud.  Any ideas?

Just as a repost, how do you seect patches on a Vortex during performance? 
I have heard repeated mentions that it's not MIDI.  If so, are you stuck
with using up/down pedals?  Please help me with this one.
