No problem Bro.. I had the same problem when I started drumming too. I started out the same way just like any drummer here. Play blindly without knowing what I'm playing or how to play it. Eventually, my form dropped. So I started a self-reflection and found out that the mistake did not lies on the equipment but on me myself.
But during those teenage years, 93-96, I couldn't afford to even buy myself a decent pedal so I had to make do with those studios' pedals that comes with different varieties of settings, blah,blah.. This frustrates me and eventually when I had enough cash, I bought myself a Pearl P-200 Power Shifter Double pedal which I'm using till today and tweaked on the settings to find the perfect one.
I'm still having this uncertainty about upgrading to the latest Eliminator... Should I or shouldn't I... Hmmmmm!!!
