[SOLVED] MOOER Expline power requirement

Hi, everyone!

 

I'm interested in this small expression pedal. I've read in the manual that the power is REQUIRED.

...why?!?

I've asked MOOER some days ago, but still no answer.

A potentiometer-based expression pedal doesn't need power, for sure. Thought about a rotary encoder based one, but it looks quite overkill...

 

Idea?

And/Or any owner that can confirm?

Yeah, of course. But I don't think that it is only for the LED.

The MOOER ABY MKII, that I own, has an LED, too, but it is stated that it can be used without a power supply (and I can confirm this). From the manual: "Can work without power supply (LED will not light up)"

That's why I'm asking what (besides the LED) needs power in a dumb expression pedal. From the Expline user manual: "(EXPLINE requires power to function correctly)"

For anyone interested, I've got an answer from MOOER support.

 

The EXP LINE does require power to operate as it doesn’t use a traditional potentiometer but instead it uses a digital circuit

 

Looks like they are actually using an encoder or similar.

Have to think a little about pro/cons...
