No, that's not possible - well, they are not offering it as an option 
afaik

I think I read that a Looper had taken his machine apart and cut the 
spring in half in order to make this easier

I agree it is quite an audible STOMP to start and stop at the moment

My RC20XL has unleashed a lot of creativity and joy - for the money I 
think it's a great machine

One day I'm hoping the Echoplex will arrive in my life...but even then 
I can imagine still using the RC20XL for its portability

Talking of which is there any possible truth to a rumour that one day 
Echoplex-type software may be available as a skin for this Chameleon?
