I’m still loving mine and have got a tap switch to change presets. I’d heard it is fussy about power supplies but my gig last night was something else - the venue’s power did not agree with it at all,  even with any of my power supplies. It was so noisy I had to take it off my board. My boss and ebs pedals were unaffected. My only other gripe is that it’s easy to accidentally change preset when you press the main switch, would be great if the preset button deactivated when you connect an external tap switch.

Isn’t there a way to reassign what function the main footswitch does?

Yes, you can scroll through presets by holding the main foot switch but it’s clunky and your foot covers the preset lights so it’s guesswork which one you’re on.

What I meant was that if you plug in an external footswitch, then you can reassign the main footswitch so it doesn’t cause the problem you mentioned above.

Ah ok. I’ll have to take another look at the manual, I don’t recall seeing anything about that

Basically just don’t put the main footswitch into preset selection mode (long press); just leave it as an engage/bypass switch.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion but that’s how I’ve got it set up. The issue is that it’s easy to hit the tiny preset button (next to the four red/green LEDs) when using the main foot switch as an engage/bypass switch. I just need to work on my foot technique!

Ah, I see.
