The Story:
My wife bought this brand new for me for Christmas, 2004. While we were visiting family for the holiday, I found someone selling an old blue version for a good price and bought it. I recently sold the blue one when I got an offer I couldn't refuse. When I took this one out that I never used in the 19 years I've had it, I found that the footswitches sometimes needed to be pressed 2 or 3 times to properly engage. I'm not sure if this will clear up on its own with use or not. Worst case, you replace the switches. If I find the time, I'll have that done if it doesn't sell as is.
