I don't mean to be unfair, but when I look at the EDP itself priced at about $700 and the pedal priced at $125, something seems out of wack. Please understand, I'm glad I bought a pedal with my first EDP. I'm also glad I didn't buy a pedal for my second one. I need a minimum of three pedals when I play out as I'm a percussionist and have instruments all over the place. Otherwise, I have to move the pedals from instrument to instrument during a piece. Five pedals work out much better but I couldn't see paying $625 for them. The price of the pedal doesn't encourage using more than one, unless you build them yourself. I'd rather support Oberheim by buying another EDP, it seems a better value. The design of the pedal is very good (I'd say brilliant). I LOVE being able to use a conventional two-conductor cord. The construction, I feel, falls somewhat short. Within 3 months, I had to replace the RECORD button on my original pedal and I'm NOT an animal on my switches. I play in my bare feet to have a better touch. Sorry if I'm flaming on this issue. Kim Flint wrote: > > well, comparing to computer keyboards is not really fair.
