Expression Pedal Megamod?

Post by Eric! »

Hey kids

So..I had an idea. Behndy-inspired, sorta.

You guys ever stuck pedals in Expression/Volume pedals before? Where do you put the stompswitch? Knobs on the side? Any things to avoid?
..because I wanna put an Iron Ether Xerograph into like a VPJR. Or, have Taylor do it for me...

I put a Logan 5 ring mod in a wah enclosure. A couple, actually. The stomp switch placement is kind of obvious on that one. Knobs go near the jacks so they are out of harm's way when on a pedalboard, but still accessible

I love the smell of solder in the morning.

Oh yeah, wah enclosures have that clicky footswitch built in, don't they?!

This is usually done with wahs form what I've seen, and considered doing. Switch stays in the same place, knobs and what get added wherever they fit.

i did this one about 6 years ago. basically a pt2399 based delay with a wave variable LFO to make it sound like the starship enterprise as well. i made it so you can switch between delay time or lfo rate on the gas pedal. the other knobs are wet/dry mix and feedback.

theres actually quite a lot of clearance in the crybaby shell towards the front so you can fit additional pots in no problem.

A few years back on ebay i saw a guy selling something called the third hand. Just an empy expression pedal with a flexi drillbit extension that replaces the knob on the pedal you already own. A totally different aproach but the good thing is its reusable, reversable, universal. If you look at the slash wah its got a foot switch horizontal on the side, its got two switches total. The morley wahs have a huge metal box with plenty of room. Dead beatup morleys are sitting in my local pawn shop right now.

MXR makes a pedal called a variphase, which is teh phase 90 in a wah enclosure, I'm sure somone could do the same with your flanger.
