It is actually very simple to make a footpedal for the echoplex. (or any sort of control interface, it doesn't have to be for feet.) The electronics involved are real simple, just a switch and a resistor for each function. More details are available on the web site, in the "echoplex footpedal tutorial" I wrote up last winter. It seems there are a few people out there who want somehow customized pedals. Some handy person with a little initiative ought to start up a little side business doing this for folks. I've turned down several offers to do custom plex pedals, since I don't have the time or motivation. (or the mechanical skills, actually) But there seems to be a small market out there. I know a certain guitar player in Journey who will buy at least two.... Don't count on Oberheim to redo the existing footpedal for you. Most people are satisfied with it, they have it all designed, and it's reasonably easy to manufacture. There's no financial incentive for them... kim At 6:20 PM -0400 6/13/97, BlkSwan03@aol.com wrote: >In a message dated 6/12/97 8:57:26 PM, you wrote: > ><<the well conceived >footcontroller making the biggest impact!>> > >I like the foot controller, however the buttons should have been a bit >more >spaced.
