Expression Pedal - Single Output Review

My Girlfriend Still Says I'm Not Expressive Enough.

I recently set up my bass pedals on a new pedalboard chassis and discovered, without planning it, I could finally access the expression pedal jack on my Bass Mono Synth pedal with ease. I chose the EHX single-line pedal for its height, low weight and guaranteed compatibility with the EHX synth unit. It works. It works really well. It gives me a completely different type of functionality… read more for the pedal than simply having one sound setting to punch in and out during a live situation -- which is still the default, for practical purposes. But this lightweight unit stays put on a flat surface and offers a comfortable sweep with no wasted play -- and also allows you to set the lower threshold of the parameter with the nicely-recessed Range wheel. The low profile allows it to slip into the long pocket of a gig bag and the minimal, shallow detail of the molded polymer case makes for easy cleaning. Minus one-half a star for the audible "clunk" of this pedal due to the lack of mass -- the same lightweight quality also makes it a bit hollow-sounding at both ends of the pedal sweep. But that noise gets covered up completely in a playing situation. Nonetheless, this pedal makes my synth pedal a lot more fun to practice with and is totally worth it.

Decent for my needs

I bought this specifically to use with a Catalinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe. Yes, it allows the BED to be under your total control while playing, not losing a beat. It controls the 'spin speed' of a rotary speaker; controls the 'tape' speed while on echoplex mode; adds or detracts from tape runaways, etc. The E.Hx. single feels decent while in use with a similar pivot point as to… read more a Dunlop Crybaby. The BED requires a pedal with negative polarity which the E.H.x. Exp. has. Also, you can reverse the pedal to act opposite from front to back. It's nice to have that choice in a passive pedal. It does what it is supposed to do, feels fairly well made and doesn't break the bank. Good recommendation by S.W.!

EHX SIngle expression pedal

It works exactly as it should. It's an expression pedal. It has the capability to work with other makers equipment with the switches and such, which may prove useful as I collect more. I use it with my EHX pedal, so it works with the default switch settings. The range dial works as described. When goofing around in my home "Studio," I generally have it "dime'd." It's made out… read more of some tough stuff, so it should last me. Taking it out of the box, I noticed a noise when the pedal was traveling through it's range. Thought that would be a detractor, but it isn't. (A mechanical noise in the mechanism.) Can't hear it in the signal, and certainly can't hear the mechanical noise over even a small amp at low volume. Fiddling with my Dunlop Cry Baby, it makes noises too. Just never noticed them until I thought to check. It's stable, and has a good feel to it.

Great for the price

I don't often use an expression pedal. If I could use my hands and feet at the same time I would be a drummer. Seems like everyone needs a drummer. So when I do use a expression pedal I want it to be ... cheap. Elextro-Harmonix makes great stuff and the price point for this is perfect. It does want I want. I like it.

Great pedal for the money

Purchased for added control of my Nova Systems unit. Works like a champ. Quick set up and easy to use.
