i use the AllAccess and i have to say that using it in
conjunction with a dedicated edp pedal is the way to go.
the main reason is that the buttons on the AllAccess require
~4lbs to activate and this makes it difficult for me to activate
them precisely in time. (they also make quite a bit of noise)
it is also nice to have the main edp functions immediately available.
(i am using the AllAccess to control several other devices as well)
there are other limitations to the AllAccess that are making me
consider using something else, although i can't seem to find
anything else that is decent...
there was a thread about a year ago about eventide researching
the perfect midi pedal.
anybody know what happened with that?
p.s. i made my own edp pedal with info from the ld pages
it's definitely worth checking out...
