Volume AND Expression Pedal

Post by Psyre »

Anyone know of any pedals that work as both volume and expression? I think Rocktron may make one?

At the same time? I've used my VPJr as an expression pedal before and it works fine. But of course you can't use it as a volume pedal then.

ahh yes, I guess I figured there was some difference and a VPjr couldn't be used as an expression pedal.



The multi axis pedals looks sick...but I don't use stereo enough :no:

The Boss FV500H or L (high impedance or low impedance) does both and it's built like a tank. Been using that forever as my exp pedal but it's now relegated to volume duty. Got the Source Audio dual exp pedal and an Expressionator to handle the rest.

The Boss doesn't do volume and expression at the same time, does it? (I think it uses only one pot for both)
It has a logaritmic pot so it's not as easy to use as an expression pedal in my opinion.
Another one worth mentioning is the Dunlop Volume X that should be on the market around June I think, solid built and cheaper than any other out there that has both expression and volume options and it has a nice large throw, it doesn't do volume and expression at the same time but it does have a dedicated pot for both functions (1 logarithmic and 1 linear) so I think it should be possible to mod it.
good deals with: the_brow, phantasmagorovich, alexsga, DarkAxel, goroth, The Wood Wizard, Tendollarcat, vbps, monkeydancer, intothegroove, Brobee

I wish it was up down for volume and side by side for expression, or vice versa.

Nope, the Boss is only one at a time sadly.

And yeah, I prefer using it for volume. :thumb:

well geez guys, "The left/right motion will pan the instrument signal while up/down motion controls the overall volume." just sort of stuck out, buttholes.
