 You don't say what you're controlling, Steve, but if it's an MPX1, I
believe (?) that all the parameters that can be controlled by the R1 are
controllable via midi.  Why not try a midi footpedal, which should be
complete quiet.

Does anyone have any cool ideas for making the R1 foot controller
quieter???
I really like the interface (though I do wish that it was a couple of
inches
shorter so that it would fit in the back of my rack!) but the really
loud
clicking sounds that happen whenever i press a pedal is really annoying,

especially as I play in really quiet settings in studios, and don't want
to
have to mic my cab in the next room. any ideas of modifying it
internally to
make it a little quieter?

conversely, can anyone suggest another foot controller that will have
the
same functions that is a) a little bit smaller and b) less noisy!

cheers
