In defendence of those red plastic switches I must say they come from  
a high quality Japanese manufacturer. They are fast, lightweight,  
compact, unexpensive and make practically no switching noise. I tried  
hard but coundn't find an alternative as far as analog switching  
goes. They do look like they are originally intended for hand  
operation and not for foot pedals though. I bought a lot of them to  
be able to change regulary. Then again: my only serious EDP breakdown  
on open stage was caused by one of these switches that broke in mid- 
performance sending a snowstorm of

to my poor EDP that of course coundn't cope - not too fond memory
