Post by AndreDanican »

Any thoughts on a good expression pedal to control an Elements and a Cosmichorus? Any feedback on how this works would be most welcome!

Welcome to ILF, Andre, and thanks for picking up those pedals!

My favourite expression pedal is the Moog EP-2, I just think it works well with all my pedals and has a good beefy feel.

The ones the good Doc above me mentioned sound good too, my only caution is that sometimes some expression pedals are connected kinda weirdly. Like sometimes on a stereo pedal they'll have the bottom lugs connected, or worse connected to the chassis in a way that grounds them, or both.. stuff like that won't work with my expression inputs, it has to be a separate and isolated TRS resistance, or CV, depending.

That's not to say the ones Ben mentioned are like that though, just saying that not all expression pedals work the same way.. there's no standardization for it.

Didn't want to start a new thread but finally AMT came out with a small expression pedal that will fit Dr. Scientist Pedals perfectly. Definitely going to get one for my Elements.

I use a Moog and a Roland EV-5. Both work really well. That AMT looks nice though!

I use a Source Audio Dual Expression pedal and it works great. I've also used the Moog and that worked great as well.

That AMT looks really cool, gotta get that, thanks for the link! Gotta get an EV-5 too, that's a really common one that I get a lot of emails about but don't own..
