I really love this pedal, but there are a couple things that make it nearly unusable live:

1) the well-documented volume drop. The DMB fixes this with a “gain” control, but that’s a whole new knob, and space is limited. Just getting this puppy to unity would be great.

2) The looper is fantastic–my absolute favorite. Except for the way in which the stomps occur. So difficult to time this out–every other looper I’ve used reads individual stomps as the start and close of the loop. There probably is no way to fix this but to include a third footswitch dedicated to the looper.

Honestly, if these two things were fixes as well as whatever stuff EHX decides to update in terms of tone/sound programming, I’d be very happy.

To push this pedal into the the orbit of awesome, include some of the functions of the DMB. That’s also a great pedal (use both on my board).

3) An Effects loop

4) Expression pedal control

5) Tap subdivision.

This pedal would suddenly get huge, though–3 stomps, 7 or eight knobs, 4 jacks on the left, 3 on the right, 2 toggles on the face, preset LEDs, &c. But I’m just dreaming, anyway.
