Most of the price difference is build quality and/or origin. Some of the price difference is just brand recognition/premium.
As far as the actual internal components, there isn't a huge difference.
... I prefer the VPjr chassis and look, so that's what I use. EV-1 looks like a tank though (in a good way).
Thanks for confirming my suspicion. I kept reading through all the specs of the different models and couldn't understand the price differences. At the end of the day it's just a pot with x resistance in a case, correct?
How has the EB served you? I read a few posts where people complain about the Y connection and a string break issue? My main intention is to buy this to control Wah, probably exclusively, so if you have any insight on how it works for that I'll be happy to hear it.
I have two of the Moog @$40 each.
This is currently my number one on the list. Out of all the pedals I have only had experience with Dunlop, Boss and Moog products. This little model also would go great with my Moog synth so it's been leading the running during my research just from a brand recognition and versatility (for my purposes) standpoint. It's cheap and Moog make solid stuff so I wonder if it's as good as I think it would be to choose it.
I've got a Mission that I use for the WAH block...and about a week ago I bought a Moog pedal same as
@RLD for the VOL block (or whatever i may wanna try ) and I like 'em both. Plug in setup it up an you're good to go...and the Moog is cheaper. Win win for me.
Good luck
Mission appeals to me because of the form-factor. I like CryBaby's so I suppose it'd feel good. But I don't know if I want to spend the extra cash on this. What would be the cheapest/standard option from Mission for use, mainly as a way?
I am also a bit confused with Mission's marketing and all the versions of the same pedals but for different modelers. Line 6 model, Helix, Kemper, etc... also the signature models: why are those special?
Earlier today I was looking at the Pigtronix model but ended not buying it because I felt the double inverse feature would be something I'd never use. Otherwise it looked ok.
On my AX8 board, I have two AMT EX-50 continuous controllers. Here are some thoughts on them:
Fractal Audio EV-1
I use one as my dedicated volume control and the other as a blend control for delay / reverb / effect feathering.
AMT EX-50 Continuous Controller
The biggest thing these pedals have going for them is that they're really small and lightweight. They're very small.
I am keeping the Fractal in the back of my mind. But since you bring it up, the AMT seems to have a similar approach as the smaller Moog pedals and the recent Dunlop DVP4 (mini Volume X).
I am really interested in hearing about that model. I also wonder if the full sized DVP3 would be a good option. Even though for that price I suppose I'd be better off with the Fractal or Mission pedal.
And now sacrilege: Have you guys tried the Line 6 EX1 with your AX8?
Right now my main options for wah are:
Thanks everybody for the help. I really appreciate it!
