1Some devices require a dedicated control voltage from a CV pedal, rather than a variable resistance from an expression pedal
2Mooger Fooger® and Neunaber® effects can use either a CV pedal or an expression pedal
325k ohm gives a better sweep response for TC Electronic®
4Polarity is configurable within the Kemper® device
5There are many Boss® pedals so it is difficult to try all of them. 10k ohm is the recommendation and will work with all Boss pedals.
However, up to 100K ohm for example works correctly with the PS-5 Harmoniser, but does not with the PS-3 Phase shifter, Up to 50k will probably work for all Boss® pedals
6Kismet from Ramble FX is also designed to work with a 250K volume pedal using a Y-splitter cable
7Mu-Tron uses 1/8" (3.5mm) jacks rather than 1/4" (6.35mm)
