It depends on what my stituation is. I'm a lefty player, but in one band where I don't front the band, I stomp with my left. I'm naturally right handed though. So when I front a band I set everything up so that I can stomp with my right. It sounds very strange I know.  :wink:

Right always. But now I feel challenged to try and use both.  :cry:

Hey Tom,that would be great!

I use both, depending on the order wich I´m switching.
My board is, from left to right: (effects brand and model change, but I try to keep the kind the same)

delay, chorus, fuzz, autowah, wah, smallstone(this is a keeper), volume

So if I'm playing dirty, and want to swiths to clean-delay, I use both feet simultaneously.

Other timer I wah with my left, 'cause I want to turn the smallstone on afterwards...sometime with my right, tu turn my distortion on....

I see you point, I think. Are you polling this to figure where to put the swith in each box? If so, keeping them ALL centeres will give you the same distance between stomps as keeping them all aligned to one side...you see?

I would prefer to stomp with my right, but if I use a music stand at church, I put my pedalboard on the left of the stand and use my left foot.  I started grade school as a southpaw, but I was "converted" to a rightie.  I play guitar rightie.  If space permits, I stomp rightie.  When I have my wah built, I'll have to stomp rightie whether I have a music stand or not.  I don't think I'll have the foot dexterity to control a wah with my left foot.

Right: Wah and most stompboxes.
Left: Those stompboxes I can't get to in time with my right foot.

But the way the stage is at the last place, I ended up putting the efkts board to my left, half under a pool table...away from the 'stage idiots'...one drunk guy 'decided' to lie down on my pedalboard...it didn't look very comfortable...lol...went backways Over the monitor and onto my pedalboard ... Ppl's eyes are drawn to it, then the body just seems to follow...there are three instances that stand out [in the last two months] where ppl are trippin over, or falling onto my pedalboard...no damages to pedals...the one girl had to be carried away though, and I always carry a spare ToneB or FF...
 So I used my left foot for everything except wah wah...the left foot is too 'dumb' for wah..the right foot is like hardwired and takes much less brain power for it to function properly.
 If it's any help...more of my recent builds have the switch on the right side /front....[the rest switch  in the middle/front] none on the left side.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.

Right...

but I hope that one day, if I work hard and apply myself, I'll be using both feet...Man, I can't wait!!!

I am a right-handed guitar player and I use my right foot for pedals.  I also use my right foot in front for slalom water skiing......But I have been known to also use my left in front...

What I'm wondering is why this is so important... :)
I don't like Holland. Nobody has the transistors I want.

That makes sense. Man I gotta learn to sing and play, a bunch of friends made their own album last week and they can sing and play at the same time :D check out their website //www.slinkey.tk!

Just a side note about one thing I don't like: footswitches too close to knobs or switches.

I am not very precise when I hit a footswitch... so I could kill a switch or a pot easily if it was too close to the footswitch.

That's why I bought a remote footswitch for a project I have in mind that could have many pots or switches...
