I have a friend's expression pedal he's been trying to sell. It's the EV-5. If you cover shipping costs, I'd sell it to you for cheap.

And I wantz the expressionator. Dreaming of the following:
Moog > Copilot Broadcast > Expressionator > pedals.

Maybe the Boss FV-500-H have some adjustment... I'll have to verify.

Is the cable solid?

Since you have a bunch of exp capable pedals, get yourself one of these, Espressomachine

So far so good :thumb: It's been to very few gigs, though, so YMMV.

I liked the *Moog EP2 for use with my Ring Thing. In fact it was the only one that worked with it at all, and it's half the cost of the Boss. I bought a Mission L6 for my M9 and it worked great. They will make custom pedals if you ask them, they're cool.

However, I got rid of the Mission and now instead use the NOSE pedal with my M9. I got a dual expression for both inputs of the M9. He has several options: mono, stereo, TRS. SO convenient for my pedal board.

He's nice too. Music in this clip doesn't start til about 3:00.

*corrected Mission EP2 to Moog EP2. I used the Moog with the Ring Thing, the Mission L6 with the M9. My bad

Gigged with the EV-5 for years. I've tried the Moog and it was fine, just haven't taken it on the road.

Thanks!!!

It will be a Roland EV5 or a Mission EP-1 (If I'm able to find a Mission in Canada at a good price).

Noticed there's not a big difference in the price between the Roland EV5 (80$) and Mission EP-1 (105$ without the cable).

Does the Mission EP-1 has the same sweep as a Moog EP-2 or Roland EV-5?

Anybody tried the Source Audio exp pedals?

There is a range knob and it can control 2 pedals... might be more interesting then a Mission (for almost the same price)?
