Moog EP-3 Reviews

Does what it say it will do perfectly

I have two of them and use both with my EQD Transmisser and EQD Rainbow Machine. Sick pair of pedals right :D ?

Well, these expression pedals are the best pedal available on the market to be used with EarthQuaker Devices pedals. You can check it on EQD website.

Very good value for money expression pedals that performs without any issue till date.

Utilitarian

Looking for even more affordable expression pedal than the Roland EV-5 I came to the Moog.

As it's cheaper, it also looks like it, having no thrills plain uniform black plastic for the entire pedal, not even rubber on the pedal. Saying that, it does have a steel plate at the bottom that adds nice weight to it and rubber feet to keep it from sliding around.

Its height resembles more a wah pedal, so it's not as compact as the Roland, but in some situations one might prefer this as it will be on the same level with some other pedals.

Pedal travel is nice and smooth and I like also that you can remove the cable, which is not the case with the Roland.

Good choice if you don't want to pay lots for a pot in a box.

Efficient but lacking personality

This pedal combines as a volume or tone depending on what stomp box you assign it to. I have a Moog Drive and a Moog Trem. When plugged in to one or the other, it can be used as Trem speed, Volume or Wha. It's up to you to fiddle around and find what you want out of it. No explanation needed there! There is a small knob on the side that remains a little bit of a mystery. Sometimes it widens the amplitude sometimes it does nothing. Again, its a thing you learn to fiddle with and happily or accidentally find what you are looking for. Doesn't require any power. I find it most interesting with the Tremolo when you want to go a little wacky. It's roughly the same size as an Ernie Ball VPJr so it will sit conformably on your board.

Smooth, but bulky

I bought this pedal to use with a Minifooger delay and I love how they work together. Detachable cable is reassuring. Build quality is good, the materials are not cheap. The only downside is that it is a bit bulky, so it's not very easy to use it while sitting. Otherwise it does it's job smoothly.2U Soft Rack Case

Very pleased

I use this mainly to control the filter frequencies on my Prophet and it does a really nice job of that.

The variable trim knob on the pedal itself is why i bought it in the first place as its very handy to be able to set a limit to the amount of sweep you can have.

No cons as yet, I was a little worried before purchase about it being made out of plastic, however it's a very rugged thing and i've been using it for a few months now and it still looks brand new.

Very happy.

Good pedal

Works very smooth.

Would recommend.

Exelent expressive pedal

Exelent exp pedal, very good quality!

Great expression pedal

I am using this with iRig Blueboard to wirelessly control Bias FX running in my iPad. It feels very sturdy even though it is made of plastic completely.

It has a great feel, just like a standard wah-wah pedal. I cannot find any negative points for this product.

It does its job perfectly.

Solid pedal

Although it is plastic it is very well built. It works with my midi keyboard on the expression pedal input. Nice feel to it.

Best choice

When using a Moog pedal you can change control its possibilities perfectly with this sensitive and cool exprrssion pedal. Chances are: if you have a Moog or a Moogerfooger pedal you are alreading using a Moog EP3.

Great universal control pedal

You may not know that you can use this pedal with lot of other stuff, not only with Moog and not only as a pedal controller. I am using it with Nord Electro 5D and it works very well with default setting.

There is switch beneath which lets you flip polarity. Standard setting worked for me. There is also a knob for range adjustment in case you need it.

Although it is made of plastic it looks very sturdy and stable.

Very responsive expression pedal

This is one of the best Expression Pedals that money can buy.

It came with a cable included so you won't have to purchase one to make the first steps trying the pedal. Despite being built in plastic, it feels very solid so the best thing to do is use it carefully.

I bought this pedal to use it with the Strymon Big Sky because it was cheap, it had good reviews and is made by the well known brand Moog. I was 100% sure of this pedal because it was recommended by the Strymon website, they tried this pedal and they recommend it, fully compatible.

If you plan to start with a good expression pedal, you can buy this one. If you are expert in pedals, pedalboards, travelling, etc, i recommend to chose another one that is not made of plastic.

Great value

Bought this to pair it with an Electro Harmonix Pitch Fork and have to say that the quality of this pedal, for its price, is very good.

It's all plastic, except for the part connecting the pedal to the pot which is metal, a good thing since plastic tends to break easily on this spot.

The pedal comes with a cable to connect to the pedal you want, and has a switch underneath between standard and other. I noticed differences between both but from the Moog website I understand it is a polarity switch.

Pedal, despite being plastic, feels very solid.

What surprised me the most about it was the range on the pedal. It is smooth and very reactive but nor harsh or too quick. I'm able to control the pitch very well and it enables a very progressive and smooth pitch changing.

For the price it is an excellent buy. Well built and thought, comfortable and very good performance.

Awesome!

This is the best Expression Pedal that money can buy!

The quality is exceptional and and this is a sturdy and well throughout. Construction is phenomenal also so you are guaranteed that this pedal from Moog will last you a lifetime!

CABLE IS ALSO INCLUDED so you won't have to purchase one!

10/10

Great value for money!

Really happy with this pedal. Does what it says on the tin!

Plastic pedal

This is a well built pedal but it's probably not as sturdy as I would like to be.

The rubber feet are good and you won't be gliding around with this pedal.

It's still heavy even if it's not metal but it does what I want it to do.

The pedal came with a cord which was a welcome surprise!

Note: I use this with a Prophet 08 synth and it works well!

Nice pedal

I bought this pedal to work with EHX Pitchfork.

Worked right out of the box. Just plug and play. Build quality is very nice, although it's made of plastic. So you still have to be careful with it.

Surprisingly it feels heavier than I expected.

Meeeooo

I read up a little on Expression pedals before buying this. I had used Roland and Line 6 ones previously but I found them too lightweight. There are more expensive ones out there than the Moog but it works well and the cable is on a jack plug rather than hard wired like the Roland. Used it on a few gigs now and all well so far.

It's used with my Minifooger delay so I can make Meeeooo Meeeooo noises. It sticks to my board with Velcro with no problems and not so heavy it doesn't drop off if the board is upside down ( not that I do that often).

Cheam and versatile pedal

Though made out of plastic that doesn't weigh much this is one solid pedal. The extra potentiometer on the side makes it usable for a wide array of different applications, not only Moog products. Considering it's price you could say it's a no-brainier and a really good go-to product.

Great build quality and excellent to use!

I use the pedal with the Moog Sub37 and it is great fun to control the filter cutoff with it. It enables fantastic expressive playing of the Sub37 and adds a lot of extra musicality. I bought a second one to control volume or any other parameter too.
