Members TomCTC Posted January 3, 2010 Members Share Posted January 3, 2010 If you want a treedle controlled exp pedal to fit on a pt mini it looks like you're stuck with fabricating your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members claytonjohn18 Posted January 3, 2010 Members Share Posted January 3, 2010 Get an ernie ball VP enclosure built to 60% scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members claytonjohn18 Posted January 3, 2010 Members Share Posted January 3, 2010 Or here's an idea. Instead of front to back sweep, make it side to side in a regular sized hammond enclosure. Rock your foot side to side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vulcaniza P Posted January 5, 2010 Members Share Posted January 5, 2010 wasn't devi gonna make some small expression pedals?didn't devi actually make a couple of prototypes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saturnine10 Posted January 5, 2010 Members Share Posted January 5, 2010 Meh. Those are more like expression switches IMO.. Even the one with the huge knob kinda defeats the purpose of an expression pedal, i cant imagine using your shoe to turn in.. Really people? http://this1smyne.com/pedals.html mini exp pedal -$29 highly reccomend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saturnine10 Posted January 5, 2010 Members Share Posted January 5, 2010 What about the Seeing Eye?

Members Bryan R. Tyler Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 bumpIf nobody has emailed Dan about this, then I will. Did you ever email him about the subject?

Phil O'Keefe Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 wasn't devi gonna make some small expression pedals?didn't devi actually make a couple of prototypes? Yes, she did. I tested one of them for her. IMHO, it was a bit too small to easily control. I can't reveal everything because of the terms I work under when beta testing, but IMO, a pedal sized expression pedal would be too small to be practical for most users.

Members solewheelin Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 IMO, a pedal sized expression pedal would be too small to be practical for most users. Hmm. I see what you mean, but the slight adaptation of movement would be worth the amount of real estate one would gain on their PT Jr. instead of using an EV-5 or an Ernie ball vol. No? Maybe there is something i'm not understanding.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bryan R. Tyler Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 I wouldn't need anything Boss-sized- just something 2.5-3" wide and 6-7' long would be more than enough to get accurate control while still taking up less real estate.

It was called the MEVP, and was built into a 1590b sized enclosure. I was DYING for it to come out... but it got canned. The smallest I had an FX17 and would love to mod it for expression pedal usage... Beyond that, this is the smallest usable expression pedal I know of: Measures 9"d x 4w x 3"h. Too bad they didn't offer that enclosure with a simple pot and two jacks!!! COME ON. They could even shave 2-3" off it that way and it'd be perfect. ALSO, these things only need to be like 2" wide... COME... ON!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sommy Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 Why hasn't anybody created a volume pedal with a roller similar to the volume control on the original boomerang? The T1M guy has ones that are close, but I imagine it's hard to control his with your foot. A roller would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ben_allison Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 With a mod, one of these could work VERY well!!! http://www.ssccontrols.com/homepage-potentiometercontrols.htm 8.8"L x 5.5"W x 4"H "The M-Series are ideal for pottery wheel foot pedals, adjusting the output level of music equipment, and other applications." 1k, 5k, 10k, and 25k options!

Members ben_allison Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 why not build a tiny box that takes the fx17 5v output to drive an led attached to an LDR that is attached to a jack no mods necessary Explain. I have and FX17 so this is RTMI... 1) 5v controls an led. 2) Led "controls" a light dependent resistor. 3) Resistor is wired between two jacks to adjust output. Is that all? How do you calibrate what "luminosity" corresponds to what ohmage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
