Expression pedals? What's the difference?

[sergiomunoz74]

So I've been looking to get two expression pedals without breaking the bank but here are so many different expression pedals that its hard to figure out what is the difference. I mean its just supposed to rock back and forth accurately so I can't see how each one would be better than another or have more features than another. Halp! This is for a möbius and a moog analog delay.

I'm interested in this. I've owned the cheap M-Audio expression pedal before and found it fine, but was considering something like Mission Audio... but is it really, really worth it? Apart from better build quality/housing do more expensive brands have bigger, more sensitive sweeps than something cheaper?

It's largely the housing construction that is different in most of them. Really though any of the plastic ones seem to fall apart on me.

Expression is all about how you express yourself...

Those Mission Engineering aren't that great in my opinion, it's in this awkward wah housing and doesn't have such a large throw / sweep, though I guess with a Mobius or Timeline it should work fine I didn't really like it with my Xerograph Deluxe.
I'm quite curious about that new Dunlop Volume X, the price is right, it looks solidly built and it has a larger throw than the wah styled Mission Engineering ones.

if you get the source audio linked above then you've the 2 in one pedal.
expression pedals are passive and dont really have any 'features' as such, except for a little dial to narrow the range of the sweep if required.

(i think there was a visual sound one that had an led indicator of where it was set, the the expressionator has automated features)

My favorite is the Source Audio Dual Expression pedal.



It's rugged and use the same pot value has the Moog.

So I decided to get a moog ep2 for 20 bucks but tha source audio one seems a lot more interesting especially if you can switch between two different things or work them at the same time. Although if you an only work two at the same without choosing it may be a drag for me.

on the cheap? - i used a headphone splitter (1 TRS plug to 2 TRS jacks) and plugged that into my phase pedal's exp jack - plugged my exp pedal (moog EP2) into one side and a TRS to TRS cable to the other and then into my El Cap's EXP input - works perfect!

the really old roland ones are cool because they have two outs so you can control two inputs at once.
