Possibly the foot pedals are close together so you can trigger three loops with a single foot? I just slide my foot over and press another pedal while maintaining pressure on the other pedal\s. It works OK, however the tolerance for losing playback on a pedal is low when attempting that trick. I was not going to buy any "small" loopers, because i thought the EDP would be a much better tool. However, this ZOOM cost me $300 Australian, has a few decent features, but an Echoplex would cost me $3000 to get shipped over. Hardly an option at the moment. Chalk up one thing living in the US has going for it - much lower prices\higher wages. I'm sorry, but I'd like to support the EDP, Kim, but it's not gonna happen soon. I may as well stop flapping and go and make some noise with my new toy then, hadn't I ?
