Funny thing with #4, I always had a problem with my EDP footswitches- I
would always double tap them. I switched them out for ones I bought from
Digitech, who used them in their old Johnson modeling amp line for the
footswitches. They are metal, and stick up more, but pretty silent if you
don't stomp em. 
Occasionally I will still double press Record (it *feels* like I am 
pressing
it once) which can really suck if you are trying an unrounded multiply.
Other than the switch itself, would there be a reason for this?
