My point as well

That's why I voted the other way around

You guys are killing me!

My fear is: the "neutral" category finally wins, Christoph gets pissed with us and gives the footswitch parts in plastic bags to assemble ourselves.

Isn´t it possible to make software function that allows the bottom/top row to be used as rig switch or fx switch? This way erverybody can decide for themselves...

I don't see why there has to be a "TAP" switch. Do most people use this?? Couldn't this functionality be accessed via an external switch...

Tap switch is necessary. I am surprised you ask.

Hey Stemast, could you explain this to me? Why couldn't those that want to tap tempo just use a boss FS-5U or similar plugged into the foot controller....I'm not understanding...

... despite the appearance, there's logic in all this. I know.

Well, it's a bit to much to have another foot controller assigned for just the tap, especially when you usually have at least two in front of you (expression, volume).
Standard practice to some boards is to be in conjunction with the Tuner button ( long press= tuner, tap=.........tap )
That's my two pennies anyway.

Would it be possible to have one button for both tuner and tap, if space saving is important?
Hold it for 3-5 sec for tuner, 2 regular taps for setting delay time.
The tap led could be next to the tuner leds.
Just a thought.

If it's still time to vote, I'd go for 6, Rigs and Right

At the bottom I'd have a 4 Rigs, Boost and Tap
At the second row the 4 multi-leds switch and bank
Top: Screen, Input/Tuner and maybe Looper.

When I mean "RIG", I mainly mean a way to switch between Channels (Presets) from Clean to Crunch, to Drive or Solo, etc...
When I'll go to a new song, I could just press the next Bank switch and the first Channel will be selected.

I wish we could have "dual-amp" (Rig A and B) to get two different Amp model (for more Channels/Presets) or even to have them together. I don't know if the KPA is capable to run two complete Rig in the same time... if yes, a top left switch to select the Rig A or B would be great. If not, a programable "2nd" switch would still do the trick, to get more choices and perhaps even program the 4 multi-function switch for Pre Stomps by default and then for Post Effects with the 2nd switch activated.

PS: I don't know how "clear" the LCD display could be, but a very bright red Rig number indicator (on the left side of the display), just like the G-System, would be great to quickly read it, even from distance.

Just thinking out loud...
