Moog EP-3 3-stars Reviews

I would not buy once again.

Build quality is not bad for the price. Unfortunately, logarithmic characteristics of the potentiometer makes it hardly usable for use as an expression (CC11) controller. Only works well as a CV controller for Moog synth, for example for controlling the filter cutoff. I had to buy another pedal with linear characteristics to control the loudness the way I wanted to.

CV control pedal

when released - brings it back to almost (important - not full) forward position, which makes it almost useless as for my taste

Works, but bulky

I bought it because it's cheap. Works well with both my Nord Electro 6 and with my Kemper as expression pedal. The only downside is that it's really bulky and feels big.

If I could change things i'd make it smaller and make the pedal stiffer, it's to easy to over express. Can be my poor motor skills though

Budget expression pedal that just about does the job

After some fairly long and tedious searches for a good multi purpose expression pedal that would not break the bank I decided on the Moog EP-2. First impressions were good, it is quite a sturdy and robust design in heavy plastic. I've owned the unit for 3 years now without any breakages or need to do the fiddly work of replacing the string within the mechanism.

Despite its sturdy design and durability I would say the main issue for me is quality. The heel down to toe down sweep did not remain smooth for very long, and sitting on a pedalboard next to a high quality pedal like an Ernie Ball volume pedal, it feels rather creaky and stiff. The nut that holds the foot plate in place also regularly needs tightening as otherwise it has a tendency to creep up on its own when putting it in the heeld down position.

My verdict: a good budget expression pedal, but don't expect too much!
