Is that caused by midi delay in the jamman, or the footpedal? I've used the
PMC-10 for my echoplex a bit, as well as other typical rack switching, and
never had a delay problem. It's possible I didn't notice, since I mostly 
use
the dedicated pedal for the plex, but if the PMC-10 caused a delay it must
have been pretty small. And preset switches are very quick. Are you sure
it's not misjudgement of the throw distance to the contact point of the
pedal? That can throw you sometimes if you're not used to the pedal.

        Well, I'm a little hesitant to take a hard poke at the ol' PMC-10 
due to
my concern that it might croak on me! That is possibly my main problem 
with the 
lag situation. I'm waaaay into my dedicated FS5U's though. (ah, finally I 
remember the correct number!) I can really mash those babies! 

I tried using the tap function for a good while though and it really felt 
different to me.
