depends on your gear/expression inputs... Line6 is for example is a complete different animal with a different wiring. the most epxression inputs needs a lower impedance... the ernie ball volume jr 25k is the way to go... + TRS cable. same with the boss... there is a L version for low impedance and a H version for high impedance.

The answer is simply that they can't. I had this very issue when I wanted to get a Mission SP-2 to control both a Line 6 M9 or EHX HOG. After a few emails exchanged back and forth with Mission, they told me with a single pot wouldn't properly match impedance to both pedals and I'd be best to get separate expression pedals for each (which led me to the L6 one that I eventually got and sold the HOG). You'd be best to use their dual pedals with things that are compatible with the same type of expression pot.

The Ernie Ball is mono, like the Line 6. The Source Audio dual expression pedal is TRS (like the Moog, Boss, Roland, and M-Audio), and has two 50k pots (same value as the Moog), one of which can be dialed down with the range knob.
