I love the display showing the setting . . makes it easy to find the exact same volume you used last time :)

placed on a bit setting that could be disabled.

The short value display is invaluable to me. The Vetta's wah is very
position sensitive. It can go from useable to down right horrible in
a matter of a couple of CC values. Being able to at least get close
to the sweet spot with a quick press is great. The alternative (for
me) is to set up alternate mins and maxes, but an overdrive stomp (or
some other change without a PC) makes the useable range within any
preset vary drastically. Like everything, turning it off would be
great (if you don't like it), but something else would need hard coded
to add the option. Do I have the mantra down pretty well X?

I won't start a poll on that one - it would and fifty-fifty anyway... :-)

I generally use min volume on each preset to handle same volume
issues. For synth sounds, I have min to 0 and sometimes use guitar
controls to handle desired volume for on/off parts during a song.

Clearly some really like this, while others find it less useful.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I would have prefereed a turn
off option, but may not be in the cards...

Ed!

I look at the audience during performance ;-P

Seriously, I found it a nice feature, that shows up for not longer than half
a second after movement.

At church, where this pedal is used, I spend a lot of time looking at
music. When I do glance down for a guitar or synth preset change, I
am only interested in bank and preset.

I see how many might use it very differently, and for them it might
well be a plus. For me it was not, but that's just me and how I use
the FCB.
