  • Can you use an expression pedal on pedals that don't have an input jack for expression pedals? I don't believe this was ever mentioned. Maybe it's a given?

  • Which one for Headrush core, i dont find the headrush pedal on your page. Is Mission E. not much more expensive and confusing EP, SP, 10K, 25K….

  • At 5:30 you mention how a linear and a logarithmic potentiometer can make a difference between a very natural or unnatural feel BUT you didn’t say which gives you the natural or unnatural feel – please elaborate. Thank you

  • Thanks, this explains all aspects clearly, except the last one where you just name the differences of the switch types and I'm all lost there and yes, this would be my first time to buy one, so I wanted to get the right one that I could use with guitar as wah another effects or sustain for keyboard perhaps, unless that's a different one and some people talk about connecting to mixers. Otherwise, I think one has a spring and a switch, we can toggle between down and up locks

  • I think you had some valuable things to say, but leaving any playing until the 8:10 mark (in a video that's 8:46) was torture and confusing. Like, show us what you're saying? I don't understand the format you're trying to go for here. Intermittent playing to demonstrate what you're saying as you're saying it would be good.

  • So… Is this usable with an all-in-one machine like a Line 6 Pod Pro? It has many effects in it..
    Pod Pro has a Left(mono) and Right output that a guitar cord fits into..
    Thx in advance. Clueless about pedals and pedal boards.

  • BOSS EV-30 dual expression pedal is very handy tool to solve ones complex "expression needs".????????

  • I have to recommend the Lead Foot LFX-1 here.
    Bought that an eternity ago, it's one of the cheapest at Thomann. It does the job with every guitar pedal i tried until now, it's suprisingly robust and it's not as big and heavy as my hi-end ones so it's easier to fit on my pedalboard. It's my favorite one as long as i don't need fancy functions.

  • I dont think that i need an expression pedal because i dont think it will work with any of my pedals. ???????? But now i am thinking about how i can get a spring in my wah wah pedals. ????????????

  • Last week I really struggled with my expression pedal until I realized that I had a ts and not the trs cable ????
    Maybe I should have watched this video first ????

  • Maybe explore the signal complexity that is setting up a WDW rig and the joy it can bring.
