Members sonda01 Posted April 12, 2011 Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 I couldn't find a comprehensive list for this.there are lots of different expression pedals out there.it would be helpful if we could compile a list to see which are usable in certain applications. Here's what i have gathered so far: Bespeco VM18L - 20kBoss FV-500 - 10k linear (expression pot)Boss EV-5 - 10k linear Boss EV-7 - 10k linear ("extra range" pot adds up to 50k ohms)Boss FV-50L - 50k linearErnie Ball VP jr. (active) - 25k logErnie Ball VP jr. (passive) - 250k logKorg EXP-2 - 50k linearKurzweil CC-1 - 20k linearLine6 EX-1 - 10k linearMission EP-L6 - 10k linearMoog EP-2 - 50k linear (reducable)M-Audio EX-P - 10k linearPigtronix EP-1 - 20kProel Volume Pedal - 100k linearRoland RV-5 - 10k linearTC Electronic X1 - 25k log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TomCTC Posted April 12, 2011 Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 The Mission EP-L6 is actually 10K linear as well, the older ones were 13K but people were reporting problems so they switched the pots in em. FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnorkelMonkey Posted April 12, 2011 Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 Rule of thumb. Active circuit expression pedals generally take a 10k pot. DIY? Drop a 10k in there and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SnorkelMonkey Posted April 12, 2011 Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 Are volume pedal really considered expression pedals? I don't consider them to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sonda01 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 Are volume pedal really considered expression pedals?

Members ZeBop Deluxe Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 I recently purchased the Kurzweill PC3 LE8 and PC3 LE7 keyboards, and I love them. Only problem is they do not come with volume pedals. I tried a Yamaha FC-7 (that works great with my Korg Triton LEs and has a great feel and great responsiveness) and it did not work well with the Kurzweils, it responded almost like an "on/off" switch. I ordered and tried a cheap Kurzweil volume pedal (about $45) with the same results, "on/off" switch. It was the only official Kurzweil model I could find... Anyone have any recommendations on a volume pedal solution for the Kurzweil PC3 LE8 and LE7? Many thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Holy Schnikes Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 Great idea with the list! A couple others: Boss FV-500 H and L models have dual pots for volume and expression. Exp pots are 10K linear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrHockey Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 OK... why is it such a big secret? Does anyone know the pot value for the Hammond V20R Expression Pedal for XK1? From what I've read it appears to be 10K, I wired one into an old broken cry baby housing with a 1K resistor in series with the center wiper, it seems to work. Haven't tried it on a gig yet, I burned out 2 of the el-cheapo in/out guitar volume pedals. Can't bear the thought of paying over $100 for an OEM pedal.Chas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members delaware dave Posted April 26, 2013 Members Share Posted April 26, 2013 In order for the FC-7 to work correctly (nice smooth long sweep) with the PC3LE you will need this adaptor:http://music.ashbysolutions.com/misc.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shine-ei Posted October 21, 2013 Members Share Posted October 21, 2013 fc-7 is a great expression pedal, you can also cut it down to be tiny. I'll have to make a post about how I did it one day. But my fc-7 is the same size as a boss pedal now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kolapsar Posted November 10, 2013 Members Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have got a Ernie Ball Volume Pedal with a knob that I use as an Expression Pedal. Will turning the knob change the pot value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yatesy Posted December 9, 2017 Members Share Posted December 9, 2017 Impossible to say. The manual does not state the type required, and Digitech use at least two different types of pedals for there devices. Their RP 50, 55, 70 and some others require a TS 250k potentiometer (though about 120K will get full range). But other models like the RP 360 use a 10K or higher with RTS configuration; Vocal live harmony uses 10K or higher with TRS configuration. The only way to check this would be to try it, or to contact digitech.
