| Update: I may have spoke a little too soon by saying the Boss LS-2 worked great in switching my Custom Boss pedal between my dual EDPS. I'm now experiencing random failures in that the signals aren't making it to the Echoplexes. I've traced this down to the LS-2 since the Custom Boss foot switches work great with one EDP. I'm guessing this has to do with the resistance the AB box is adding to the 1/4 cable. I may just have to add another 7 gutted Boss pedals to control the 2nd EDP.
