Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] Re: Sustain pedal

From: Reggie <reggie@...>

Yep, it was me, I phoned a shop today, I want 2 pedals, a sustain pedal
and a Wah type pedal. They said the one they stock is for Yammie,
Roland and another make.

Anyway, I think I get to test them first so if not working they will go
back.

So, can anyone explain how to set up the 2 types of foot thing I will
buy tomorrow?
