Expression Pedal Dilemma

Post by Rob Fossil »

OK, I just scored a Second Voice w/exp jack in the B/S/T forum. I'm planning to get a Faye Sing or Xerograph also, so I will need an expression pedal that will control both pedals. I am looking at the Mission SP-2 that can control 2 pedals individually. There is also the Pigtronix pedal that is made by Mission that controls two pedal simultaneously, but I don't need that option. Should I go with the dual Mission pedal or get a cheaper pedal and an A/B box? What do you guys who use multiple pedals with expression capabilities do to avoid plugging/unplugging each pedal on the fly?

I literally have zero expression controlled pedals right now. So weird.

The Source Audio Dual Expression looks like it may be the answer. From the reviews I have seen, the sweep is wider than the Mission SP-2 and it can control 2 pedals simultaneously. The Expressionator is a bit out of my $$$ range, but it looks fantastic.

from what i understand, the signal's impedence doesn't get reprodudcdd properly with a/b boxes, that's why something like Jean's Expressionator is such a godsend. i don't think there's another expression multiplier type box out there right now. it's. not the cheapest option, but i LOVE mine. the different taper settings (how the output reacts to you sweeping the expressin pedal) let you use pedals in new and weird ways. so GOOD. i. have a few demo's on YT channel that use it. i think there's a Second Voice one that does?

i have a dual out Mission, they can make them either cick between or on at the same time. it's damn nice. the Soure looks solid too thgh.

The expressionator is awesome, but if you don't need all its features, it's too big of an investment, or you could just contact some of the DIY guys here on the forum. I'm sure somebody can hook you up with what you need.

This is something I still need to look in to. I keep getting distracted by other crap.

I'm kinda leaning toward the MOOG due to price. For me , right now, it's more about learning and exploring then needing one for a specific purpose.
