List of expression pedals

Expression Pedal Enhancer and Converter Three-way expression pedal splitter

Expression pedal list

Finding the correct polarity as well as the potentiometer resistance, of an expression pedal can be difficult. But having the correct polarity and resistance can mean the difference between an effect being modulated or not. So, this list is provided to help in that area. The list contains solely expression pedals, expression pedals with volume pedal options and/or control voltage (CV) options

We hope our database of expression pedals is of use to you. Much care has been taken compiling it, but no responsibility is taken for its accuracy. It is suggested to contact the manufacturer of a device to verify your units specifications.

¹The Alesis F2 has an adjustable screw that can prevent the full toe down travel, and so works as a maximum depth control
²Like most pedals in this this list, the FCV100 is not a control voltage pedal, although it is advertised as one
³The Boss EV-10 has two expression outputs, but the reverse sweep option is available on one output only
⁴Crumar MJ-EXP1 has a long throw action, good for seated keyboard use
⁶The 4E dual axis has four 25k expression jacks. Two of these can be switched to 10k.
⁵Nose make custom pedals. Order as TS or TRS
⁷ hardwired - There is no TRS jack, but rather a hardwired lead with a TRS plug on the end
⁸Next step expression does not have a physical toe switch. When rocked fully forward the unit toggles from effect to bypass mode
⁹mom/latch - Kit available to change between momentary and latch switching and toe switch height adjustable via additional washers for spacing.
¹⁰spring loaded – Optional spring can be fitted so pedal returns to start position. No tension adjustment with this option
¹¹Unlimited – Receiver unit contains one expression jack; Transmitter transmits to unlimited number of receiver units
¹²Xpression fX motion - Not a pedal; A free moving inertial sensing and control device that acts like a pedal
¹²Xpression fX enhancer - Not a pedal; Takes a standard TRS pedal as input, enhances it and gives it universal connectivity
¹³ hot hand 3 – Not a pedal; A free moving inertial sensing and control device; use up to four separate units simultaneously
¹⁴Sensor – is a 3.5mm TRRS jack used by Source Audio’s own effects units. TRRS and TRS cannot be used simultaneously on this pedal.
¹⁵Hot hand 3 can transmit to 4 separate devices
¹⁶’B’ designates a logarithmic potentiometer
¹⁷Independent - Each of the two expression jacks is fully independent of the other jack. Each has separate polarity, reversal and depth control
¹⁸Expressionator – Not a pedal; requires an expression pedal at input (10k – 25k recommended). Splits input into three outputs.
¹⁹Footprint - Height is closed height. Unless both closed and open heights are specified.
²⁰ comes hardwired but can be ordered with a socket
²¹ Not a pedal, but a pedal enhancer
²² Can custom make, and has a range of set-and-forget expression pedals that come with a large rubber knob so they can be actuated with the foot.
²³ Has a toggle switch that can be used to shift the taper range to one end, thereby acting as a log taper or an anti-log taper
²⁴ Has a toggle switch that can be used to shift the taper range to one end, thereby acting as a log taper or an anti-log taper and has a further switch that allows switching between two effects units, or using an output as a mono switch such as for switching reverb on an amplifier
²⁵ Control voltage pedal only. Outputs are inversely proportional and so output one has 5v at toe down and output two has 0v at toe down;
²⁶ Stone deaf is only compatible with stone deaf products, and then only some Stone deaf products. It will work to some degree with other products but the log taper will have most of the effect occurring at one end of the pedals travel rather than evenly throughout the travel
26 This is a small hand operated slider rather than a pedal. The instructions are to perhaps attach it to a microphone stand for easy access
27 Extended movement range
