Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted October 6, 2007 Members Share Posted October 6, 2007 FYI I use a Boss EV-50 for my PS-3, and I'm not very happy with it. Not recommended. Thankfully I didn't pay more than about $30 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the dixie dredg Posted October 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2007 yea the main problem is apparently the expression function is dependent on the pot value, and it seems like random different manufacturers would have different pots...thats why im leaning towards the foxrox cause you can adjust it (i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members krellmusician Posted October 6, 2007 Members Share Posted October 6, 2007 IIRC, the expression pedal in Boss pedals is used as a voltage divider. Sleeve is ground, ring is +V, tip is the variable voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the dixie dredg Posted October 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2007 so anyone know what a sturdy/not expensive voltage divider expression pedal is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slight-return Posted October 6, 2007 Members Share Posted October 6, 2007 how "not expensive"? It's one of those I'd suggest hands (or rather) feet on shopping [yes, I know, we are all bubble boys living in an ultra-secret abandoned missile silo in antarctica ] - with a treadle pedal, feel can mean a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
