EV 5 : Mixed feelings

10 years ago

Ok the most important thing here is that I bought this to use with a Moog MF Drive pedal. Now, they say it's compatible, but really it is not. The sweep is at a wrong position. After trying to mod it (and failing) I have figured I have to adjust the internal 10k pot (not the min volume one) and set the max output to a lower position. This is simply because of how my guitar and the EV5 works with the MF Drive.

Otherwise, yes, it's cheap plastic but works. Time will tell for how long. I chose it also because of the size. I have a small board 20cm wide, and this fits perfectly. Every alternative is a good 5-10cm longer.
