Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Hi again,
Thanks for the responses, guys!  The group is still active.

Martin -- I haven't experimented with using the volume control for 
regulating gain.  That's a good tip.

Andy -- interestingly, the Zoom G9.2tt was my probably choice if I 
decide to get a floorboard system.  I'd be very interested in 
hearing your overall thoughts on how the two systems compare -- the 
good old VF-1 versus the new Zoom.  I'd mainly be interested in 
hearing about the quality of the tones.

I do have one more VF-1 question: I know that you can hook up 2 
different foot pedals (latching or momentary pedals) to the Ctrl 1/2 
input using a special cord to bridge the two pedals, but has anyone 
tried to hook up 2 continuous controllers to that jack?  All the 
pictures in the manual show regular pedals, but it would be very 
handy to be able to hook up a second CC pedal to that jack.

Thanks!
Bert
