I don't like to talk people into buying what I like, because experience has taught me that if the other person buys on my recommendation, then hates what he bought... I'm the reason for his unhappiness.

What I *AM* willing to do is help people who have bought a voiceworks learn how to use it.

I can't compare the voiceworks to the newer models since I have no experience with any model besides the one I own. However, I can say that MY reason for accumulating MIDI-controllable devices is specifically so I DON'T have to stomp on pedals... and the voiceworks is perfectly suited to that goal.

If you LIKE stomping, it's worth mentioning that a 3 way footswitch is available for the voiceworks that can be configured from a menu to control 3 different functions
