I've got a little problem... The expression pedal is pretty hard, it doesn't go smooth. Do you know how to solve this?
There is a screw on the pedal but i don't have the key for it, its like a huge allen, or maybe there is a place to put some oil or something...

I would start with some lube and then hit upt he hardware store looking for the allen wrench. Usually a set is like $5 or less, they're great to have around.

Same thing happened with mine when I got it, I just used it a lot and now it's smooth

try greasing it -- I got an allen wrench set for this kind of thing last week and it ran me $15.

There's a way of loosening it up, Dave Gilmour has his like that. It's annoyingly complicated though so thus far I've just put up with it. If I ever meet someone with another I'll pay them to do it :P

I've put some olive oil on it (i don't have any other oil around here
) and it's going way better. Still not really smoothie, but i think it will get better with time because its barely brand new...
Thanks everyone
