Members The Villano Dude Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Any reason I shouldn't get the Roland EV-5 Expression Pedal? I am buying one to use the expression option on the RE20 but I might use it for a Goatkeeper in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhuxtable Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Moog EP2 is awesome and is one of the cheaper ones at $40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Villano Dude Posted February 5, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Moog EP2 is awesome and is one of the cheaper ones at $40 Should I disregard the whole "designed to enhance the expressive capabilities of the Minimoog Voyager, Little Phatty, Moogerfoogers and more.." part or does the more encompass pedals made by other brands? Thanks for the advice btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhuxtable Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yes ignore that...I use it with all sorts of things that take expression pedals. Don't buy it from the Moog site....buy it from GC.com or Sam Ash or Sweetwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhuxtable Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Btw I've never used the Roland expression pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evets618 Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 I've used the EV-5 with Boss pedals and it works fine.However, it does have a hard-wired TRS (stereo) plug.Some other brands may not use this configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lefort_1 Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 I've used the Roland with my old A/DA flanger...it was aight. No complaints.But yeah, that'd probably be the only piece of Moog I could afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aaron SS Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Mission Engineering are the best IMO but they are quite expensive (overpriced) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Villano Dude Posted February 5, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Mission Engineering are the best IMO but they are quite expensive (overpriced) I am waiting for the SP-2 as I hope to split duty with a couple of pedals but I also plan on using a dedicated one. I'll stick to the Moog then. Probably the only Moog gear I can buy for a while too, ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Villano Dude Posted May 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 So, my buddy uses a Moog exp. and he didn't recommend it. Should I stick to Mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hooya Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 Ernie Ball VP Jr.? I also used a Boss FV-500L for a while with my HOG as an expression pedal. It's amazing but it's HUGE and HEAVY. I'm now using it actually for a volume pedal and using cheapy M-Audio ones for expression purposes. I'm really looking forward to the tiny footprint ones that are being made by the company that makes that Japanese Girl wah pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 The Mission pedals are great, I have the one made for the M9 and never had a problem. Though I don't see why you couldn't buy a crappy old Crybaby and mod it yourself to do the same thing for 1/2 the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LSMFT6 Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 I use the Pigtronix dual expression pedal with my Pitchfactor and Soundblox, and I've noticed that the travel is a little uneven with the Pitchfactor. It reaches 100 before it's fully toe-down, which is weird. It's by no means unusable and I'm a lot less afraid of breaking it than my VP Jr., but that had a perfectly even travel.

Members BrentMpls Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 I've noticed that my moog ep-2 doesn't get the same range sweep as turning the knob for the same feature on pedals other than a moog. I think it has a higher pot value than most expression pedals but I'm not positive that is the reason I don't get the same sweep. Great pedal in design though.

Members woolyh Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 Just get the EV-5, it's small, cheap and works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eti Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 You could get a behringer fcv100 for less than the Moog and have a stereo volume pedal until it breaks Mine broke and whereas the volume pedal side is no more, the control side still works without need for power.
