It wouldn't be too hard to design new metalwork to incorporate an EDP & Footcontroller in a floor unit with the display pointing up at the user. If anyone is willing to pay for my time, (material cost is insignificant), I'll design and build it. Oh, you'd also have to pay for the EDP guts, PCB etc. but I guess I could get one of those cheap.

It's a small and very portable $15 Fender electric guitar stand; I turn it backwards (so that the main support rod is facing me) and tilt the EDP up at about a 45 degree angle towards me, parked right in front of the foot controller. The balance is fine, so it's in no danger of sliding off. It's probably the best solution I've come up with in terms of EDP placement; the theory is that, since I have to look at the pedalboard anyway, I might as well have the Echoplex in the same basic spot. And I think it looks a bit more elegant from a performance point of view - it FEELS better than constantly looking to my side at a rack or stand, anyhow. This way I can pretend I'm just shoegazing while I try to cop some Kevin Shields licks... > Third thought: As if doing the blackface EDP+ weren't enough, wouldn't it be > cool if there were a floor unit that combined the EDP footswitch with the > Echoplex guts. If you get a padded single-space rack case and some sort of mount for the EDP a la a guitar stand, it's almost as good... I know what you mean, tho.
