Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! The EXP output is standard, but you'll need a pedal that accepts an expression input. The volume control works with any standard guitar setup.
The volume pot provides a standard linear resistance for volume swells, while the expression pot offers an exponential taper for more dynamic control of effects like wah or tremolo.
Being a passive pedal, it shouldn't significantly alter your tone, but long cable runs could introduce some signal loss. A buffer pedal might be beneficial in those situations.
