You might want to try to determine if it is a problem with the EDP or the controller first. What are you using to control your EDP with? If you are using the EFC-7 controller, the little red footswitches in it are NOTORIOUS for going bad with frequent use. A quick way to tell is to disconnect the EFC-7 and try to conntrol the EDP from the front panel. Does this work without a hitch? The the problem is most likely with the EFC-7 footpedal (with a bad switch specifically being the most likely culprit). If you are handy with a soldering iron these are easy enough to fix. The only problem is getting replacements from MOUSER ELECTRONICS or JAMECO ELECTRONICS. You can look up the specific part number somewhere on the Loopers Delight web site wherr will also tell you: The footswitch part# is: 10PA005 at <http://www.mouser.com> or 106112 at <http://www.jameco.com> the switch is made by a company called Mountain Switch, and their part# is DS412R. They are simple to replace with minimal soldering. Hope this helps. -- tEd ® kiLLiAn "Different is not always better, but better is always different" Flux Aeterna: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playListId=6378076 http://www.pfmentum.com/flux.html http://www.CDbaby.com/cd/tedkillian http://www.guitar9.com/fluxaeterna.html http://www.garageband.com/artist/ArsOcarina http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=2845073 http://www.netmusic.com/web/album.aspx?a_id=CBNM_17314 http://www.indiejazz.com/ProductDetailsView.aspx?ProductID=193 http://www.loopers-delight.com/cgi-bin/profiles.cgi?step=view_profile&id=121197000042 Ted Killian's "Flux Aeterna" is also available at: Apple iTunes, BuyMusic, Rhapsody, MusicMatch, MusicNet, DiscLogic, Napster, AudioLunchbox, Lindows, QTRnote, Music4Cents, Etherstream, RuleRadio, EMEPE3, Sony Connect, CatchMusic, Puretracks, and Viztas.
