Hey All,
What are you using for expression pedals, and why? I currently have an Ernie Ball regular volume pedal I use as an express/volume pedal with my MFC, and a Rocktron Hex I use as expression for things like wah. I have the Hex set up with auto engage for wah. I also JB Weld'd a spring to the underside to it stays heel down when not in use. I've had problems with it rocking forward to the vibrations of the stage, the spring forces it heel down, and to stay down. I like the Hex cause it looks like a crybaby, which is my preferred wah. I have noticed sometimes my wah sounds digitized, I don't know if that's my config with my Hex, or how the gearing is on the Hex.
I've always used Ernie Ball volume pedals as a volume pedal, so that's what I continued to use with my MFC. I have noticed though, when I set it up as a volume, it isn't a true volume pedal, like the first 10% of travel I hear a difference in volume, but then the remainder 90% of travel it doesn't have much change. I have a feeling this is due to an audio pot installed and not a linear pot in the pedal. So thinking of switching to the EV-1, cause it's linear, and matching Fractal to Fractal.
So what do you use, and thoughts on what you have? How do you suggest I change/modify my setup?
