Wonder if I'm the only person alive who actually DOESN'T like silent switches.
I for example went out of my way to find the v1 of the Strymon El Capistan Tape Delay pedal for the very reason it didn't have the clickless switches. I like the tactile feedback under my foot to confirm it engaged. I've found with clickless pedals sometimes I would think I tapped the switch hard enough and find the effect didn't kick in etc.
I do realize for some peoples applications they need total silence and a click could be annoying for the crowd to hear, but I've always had to deal with pool games going on, people talking, bottles clanking and such even when the music isn't playing and during a song, no way anyone is going to hear the sound of a footswtich, so the silence thing is a non-issue for me.
I'm sad to see they MKII is going way, because if I had the choice of normal or silent switches I'd totally go for the normal ones every time.
