Speed of switching between patches with mkii shortboard.

Hi all,
I'm curious. I did a search but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I bought a peavey vypyr and sanpera foot pedal. It's decent enough and switching between patches is intant BUT, maddening. The switch occurs when the button is released not when depressed. So years of tapping my foot on the down beat means nothing to peavey. Grrrr. And to make matters worse any effects you had going in the patch, i.e. delay abruptly stop when switching to the next patch even if all setting are the same. So there's no nice fade off for the delay. Am I making sense? Also there's no red channel greem channel switching. you have to have two presets set up to go from clean to dirty. It's just kind of clunky and clearly not designed by musicinas.
So, that being said, does pod farm/spider amps and the mkii shortboard suffer from these same problems. Is there a red /green switch? Does patch switching happen instantly so there's no noticable lag beween patches? Does it happen when the button is depressed?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
I have not noticed any lag when switching between channels, alhtough some people have, it usually is a problem with the CAT5 cable they are using. YOu can only switch between channels (and banks) and turn on/off certain FX with the SHortboard and Spider amps, you can not switch to the manual settings.
Most people are happy with the switch time. If possible, try one at your local retailer to judge for yourself.
