What are some of the ways you've made use of an expression pedal? Post your experiences here!!!

Great vid--thanks for posting! I know the RV-500 has both a delay and reverb, and has multiple assign slots, so I think you could probably do the reverb time x delay feedback swap with a single expression pedal right? I currently have a Dunlop DVP1XL on my board, which has the Boss MS-3 (multi-effect switcher) at its heart. The Dunlop can be used as a volume pedal or an expression pedal. For years, I had been using it for volume, but now with the MS-3, the guitar goes directly into that input and I just use the Dunlop's expression out to control whatever makes sense in a given patch. Usually, it's still (now digitally-controlled) volume for muting or good swells, but it can also control wah, or any other parameter(s) of any effect in there (not unlike the xx-500 units)--or even to send MIDI to an external pedal/etc. Maybe I'll try out your experiment using two assigns, but would want them to be separate from volume for the swelly leads. Fortunately, the MS-3 has two expression/switch pedal inputs, so I could control another parameter independently with a different pedal or switch like the FS-7. The DVP1XL is a beast--solid and smooth, but also big and heavy. My only other expression pedal is a Moog EP-3, which gets the job done most of the time, but doesn't have a great feel to me and sometimes has calibration issues. You've got me thinking about the EV-30... the dual output definitely opens up some creative possibilities!

What do you think if this BOSS EV-30 Expression Pedal will work with TC Electronic Flash back Triple Delay effectively?

@user-ir4wm5kk9c

Triple delay have ex input? hmm.. something to think about I have some ordinary but really awesome expirience with ex pedals amt ex-50 + boss syb-5 really groovy but "vintage" synth sound. ex-50 is simple and cheap optic device, but works cool Vintura Vibe simulates expression by pressing and holding footswitch By the way, Bill, did you use Ventura Vibe? Maybe you have some unusual ideas for this pedal

Hi Bill. I love how you have maintained a childlike innocence even after all the years you've been playing! It's so refreshing to see someone of your caliber get so excited about experimenting. You're "let's see what this sounds like," and the expression on your face is priceless.

You just made me want to buy both this and the volume pedal. Absolutely hypnotic man!

Great video, inspirational. I picked up my EV-30 yesterday and tonight I am going to try replicating some of your sounds with my DD-8/RV-6 combo.

I love you Bill. Such a solid creative approach and demonstration. Thanks

Mesmerizing! Great stuff . I have an expression pedal on the way and some pretty cool pedals so hopefully I can start to do some cool ambient work like you're doing. Cheers!

Very cool! Thank you for creating this video.

this is the sound I want,thank you so much

Very cool to mix two effects in one pedal.

I just got this pedal today and am going to be using it with my HX Stomp. I can't wait!

I love this channel and have really benefited from your reviews of verbs and choruses. Many thanks for that. As far as expression pedals go, I'm still searching for a video that shows me how they can be useful in a typical song with band and vocals. In other words, it seems like they are most often used to create their own musical sounds whereas I'd like to hear how they can be used to enhance a song that is not made just especially for them. I can see them controlling a Leslie speed or tremolo speed, but there must be other tasteful uses. I just haven't come across a video yet demonstrating them. I'd welcome links.

Nice 9th over that Db at 4:06 ' a nice looooong' haha.

Hi Bill - you are awesome and so is your channel! Have you demonstrated the Meris Polymoon pedal yet? Will the Boss EV30 pedal work with the polymoon?

incredible

Great video, like the dual control feature. Has anybody seen an expression pedal that lets you limit BOTH the minimum voltage and the maximum voltage output so you can really limit the sweep range of the pedal? I've got some pedals that when used with most expression pedals, the sweep range is just too big.

Hi and thank U for all the contents on the channel . I want to controll a big sky and a timeline at the same time. I read on the net that the boss dual exp pedal works better with boss products, is that true ?

Very good sound! But i have a question becouse i don't understand the polarity switch: it is to invert maximum and minimum effect between heel and toe? Thank you

Best use I have found for an expression pedal is to control my face muscles (in tandem with the sweep of a wah effect).

thanks for this. Im using the gt1000 core and trying to understand how to use it, and it is so confusing. Trying to figure out to use the expression. Not sure if I need to assign a footswitch to call wah or volume, then use the expression for levels. Or how to set it up as I have seen some using the top 1/4 of the pedal position to trigger the wah, and the lower to control volume But if I move past a certain point it will remove the effect. Seems very confusingVery in how to use one pedal for multiple things. Any suggestions? Any resources that will explain this process for the greater understanding?

What does it mean when smoke comes out. Then stops and real quiet.

Super excited here eh Bill lol your awesome my friend and clever nonetheless less

Hi there. Are you using the pedal inside your daw? What cables do I need for the pedal to communicate with the computer?

Does it have an activation switch on it for wah? How would i cut it on for wah while playing?

After watching this vid I realize that having an expression pedal is as convenient as to own a volume pedal for making this kind of sounds

I've heard the pots get scratchy on most volume pedals, and the fix is to just get another eh-30 and use with a boost(Vertex effects) as a Volume pedal. What's your thoughts on this setup?

@chordsoforion

3 жыл бұрын

The Strymon Compadre as a similar feature and I sometimes use an expression pedal as a volume pedal. The other option to avoid scratchy pots is to get a volume pedal without a pot. I use Morley volume pedals, and even after 20 years of constant use, they stay super quiet.

What are some possible reasons this pedal won't work with my avalanche run delay? I've tried setting up my signal chain differently but it won't actually do anything, if I hook it up to my monument trem pedal the pedal won't even turn on... There is a disclaimer in the Manuel saying they can't gaurentee it'll work with every pedal.. Hmmm

Hi Bill! I’m having a hard time setting the max level on my DD-200. Every time I set the effect level to, for example, 50% at the max position, it won’t stay there and when I bring it back to the max position it go to 100%. Can figure out why

@@chordsoforion thanks for the reply! Couldn’t find anything in the manual so I’ll keep trying

Can i use a dual expression pedal for two different pedals; or one channel for total pedal volume control. The manual on the es-8 has two exp in; two cv outs plug 4 control. NOT CLEAR IF the cv outs and exp out is dedicated to what its plugged into ! Why not have expression inputs be assigned to the different pedals that support exp. pedals; but fed thru the es-8 rather than the exp input on each specific pedal. the exp pedal does different thinks to my pitchfork vs tremelo box, perhaps a volume control. But the ES-8 does not seem to have that now; only two exp out; vs being able to supply Qty-8; outputs if you had 8 pedals. This works for pedals that support exp. in or midi control. next version of the ES--8A !! You Could feed thru to control all 8 pedals ( then software editable) or add 8 Exp/cv cabled outputs. Then.... go one step beyond to pass thru your expression pedals if you have two es-5,8's in series. Then can be programmed via the editor to be usable on the 2nd pedal board connected.

PLEASE HELP. what is the pedal on the left of the expression pedal? volume? wah??
