What you want is both EDPs being in a position to send an "I'm starting now signal" with the first one to start being the one that starts recording for both of them.

The floor unit isn't going to work for everyone. But having to carry around a rack has its own complexities. My guitar amp is a DG-Stomp so it's on the floor already. Andre has almost no extra equipment and I could see this simplifying a setup like his though I think he's using MIDI to the exclusion of the footcontroller so he isn't a great example. My understanding was that the EDP+ was being packaged with the footcontroller which suggests that most people are expected to use that rather than MIDI or to use MIDI in addition to the footcontroller. It's definitely not a replacement. My point was that if I were Gibson playing with EDP form factors, I'd probably play with a floor unit before trying to build a dual unit. Mark
