Other than Wah and Volume, what do you use your expression pedal(s) for?

[Sharka]

I'm assuming most people use them for wah and volume, but what other functions do most people use them for?

A door stop.

...more like, what can't you use it for?

So, how are you going about adding in "shimmer"? Would be curious in seeing others' approaches for this ... I've used crystals in Pitch block, but open to new ideas!

I set a parallel path with volume going into multidelay set to 1 octave up going into reverb (all 100% wet) and attach exp pedal to the volume to feed the signal into the parallel path. Sounds awesome

Other than wah and volume :
Shimmer fade in/out (i.e. With Or Without You [U2])
Filter (hi freq -> low freq -> ...) (i.e. Elevation intro [U2])
Cross-fade (i.e. City Of Blinding Lights intro [U2])
Pitch (0 -> +12 -> 0) (i.e. Even Better Than The Real Thing [U2])

Delay feedback.

expression #2 is set to turn on the HOLD function on my reverb 2 when it is engaged. when it's not engaged, it can do other stuff too. I like how it's able to do many different things depending on what you have turned on at the moment. expression 1 is just always volume for ever amen.

Oh yeah that's a good one too.

Isn't modulation speed controlled by tap tempo?

He's talking about adjusting to the ebb and flow of the band, or multiple tempos per song (i.e. LZ's In The Evening) and not wanting to tap on the button or switch, which looks and feels goofy and is distracting.

Delay mix level (via the Input Gain control when running the Delay Block in parallel) & the Drive block's Level control.
