Re: Yamaha UD-Stomp vs. Magic Stomp

["Paul" <paulrichard10@knology.net>]

Hey:

I bought a UD-Stomp at the blowout price. The sound quality is great but 
the
pedal has a flaky control idiom. To change patches/banks, you have to get
the hang of the button presses properly.  When I haven't used the pedal for
a while, I seem to forget the proper sequence (perhaps the result of an
improperly spent youth) and have to refer to the manual. In other words 
it's
not intuitive.

'gards, Paul
