DonŽt feel bad Adrian i am as well guilty for putting down the EFC-7,i change those switches god knows how many times and it always made me uneasy onstage,i even started hating the EDP for it.Since i got rid of it and got a fcb1010 i love life and the EDP! The fcb1010 has a learning curve but with patient anybody can learn it and it will turn your basic EDP into a loop giant! And by the time the fcb1010 buttons go bad youŽll be in a psychatric clinic for EFC-7phobia!
