The switches may not be the best for precisely timed clicking though. I generally use mine synced up to a drum machine that my drummer and I play with as a click-track so timing isn't quite as important. I just need to click it slightly before the beat and it will quantize it for me. That being said, I haven't had any problems with timing when I use it without the sync. It's probably a matter of taste though. The switches are a little stiff when compared to the original pedal and they have a bit more travel so if you're just casually stepping on the button to trigger it, it might be harder to get the timing as tight as with the original EDP footswitch. Of course, you don't get the malfunctions that you do with the EDP footswitch though. I tend to step hard and fast on mine and that seems to work well. The FCB1010 has two expression pedals which can be used to control the feedback and output volume on the EDP. 10 banks of 10 settings give you more than enough settings for the EDP. Note that some FCB's have shipped with non-functional expression pedals (guess that's one of the quality control issues with Behringer). The first one I got had this problem and then I read that other people had the same problem. Musicians Friend has it for $150 but I could swear I paid a lot less than that for mine. Perhaps the price went up. I think that's still cheaper than any other similar MIDI foot controllers. It's pretty flexible too. - Dave
