[sciurius]

In my personal opinion (which is biased by my physical conditions) the foot switch is ideal when playing while seated.
When standing I find it much harder to keep track of the pedal (I cannot stand still while playing so I need to look down to see where the pedal is). Also, I've got 1.5 bad legs and it is often distracting to try balancing on one leg so the other foot can push the pedal.
So I'm still searching for alternatives... Maybe something like a B-Bender?
