You don't find those footswitches hard on your hands? Maybe they take less force than the Mic Mechanic did? That one is definitely designed to sit on a guitarists's pedal board, and its switch was definitely designed for stomping guitarist feet!

That switch did double duty as an on/off and a tap tempo for the echo which you had to press and hold to engage. Took WAY too much force on the palm of the hand to be comfortable, IMO.

But to each his own. In truth, I virtually never use the VH (not really a big fan of block harmonies) and primarily use my PerformVK as a mic preamp/compressor/eq and then for delay on the voice when needed (the BK-9 has a pretty good general purpose reverb for the mic input), so the little unit works good for my limited use.

I would probably go with something more elaborate if my harmony needs were more...
