I hate to say this, but I think you're both a bit off on this. Programming a pedal for someone might help in the short term, but in the end the person will be "stuck" with someone else's ideas about how the pedal should operate. I know it's a pain in the ass, but buckle down and learn it. It's not that bad, in the scheme of things. I've programmed quite a few devices in my day, and until you've tried to come up with patches for the Yamaha DX7 or make a sequence on a Brother sequencer (yeah, that's right, the typewriter company made MIDI sequencers for a while!) you don't know hell. Trust me, what you learn from forcing yourself to program the FCB1010 will be helpful in programming any device in the future. You'll learn how to learn decipher manuals and really use gear as it's suited for you. You'll get your money's worth out of the gear and be happier in the end. Trust me, I've gotten rid of units because they were too hard to program or operate, and the FCB1010 is not one of them. Get a good night sleep, put away your bong, read the manual and spend a Sunday afternoon figuring it out. I know you can do it!
