Another note - that proprietary foot switch? Go to a music store and get a cheap momentary keyboard/effect foot switch - the kind with a long cable and a 1/4" TS male (IE a guitar-style plug). They're cheap. Then grab a 1/4" TS female panel jack, a buck or two.

Open the case, desolder the footswitch leads (even the 3-prong jacks only have 2 leads), find a spot to drill a hole for the new jack, and solder it up. I really, really love having the foot switch - most of the time it sits near my baseboard and I flick it with my hand. For really complex dodging with a mask, I stick it on the floor and use my foot. Super-crazy-handy!
