Source Audio Dual Expression Pedal

Good but i havent gotten it working with a second pedal.

this duo function doesnt work for every pedal, wish i knew someway of checking that before i bought it

Excellent pedal

A very versatile and high quality pedal, I bought this expression pedal to control a Source Audio Orbital Modulator. It has two outputs to control multiple effects but I only ever used it for the OM.

The best expression pedal I ever owm

The product is very sturdy and well-built.

The double expression exit is pretty useful and the overall experience is great!

Best I found insofar (not cheap though)

I have a large pedalboard and a plethora of effects, so I am pretty used to expression pedals. Source Audio (aside from having FANTASTIC customer care service) placed a very good quality product here. Dual expression? A godsend for guys with large pedalboards! I strongly recommend this if you want to stomp on your expression like hell (say volume and wah, for instance). I addition, if you have other source audio effects (I?ve got the Nemesis delay and some filters) this comes complete with their proprietary connectors that add additional flexibility. So all nice and good. Shortcomings? None. Cons? Well, you can find much cheaper alternatives for similar quality if you are into the market for SINGLE expression pedals, so better revise your needs prior to disburse. If the dual expression already caught you, this was the only choice for me!. Comes with an excellent quality cable (yeah, could have two for that price tag...) so you?re good to go right outta box.

Great pedal, for the money it does it all right.

It's not the smoothest gear in the world, but for the money it fares well, plus it's put up with regular gigging since I've had it.

The shell feels solid, although not too weighty, which for me it's great, as it keeps the pedalboard weight down.

It's not the greatest expression pedal, but it's the best one for the money by far, plus the fact that it can be plugged in to two pedals at once is even better

Solid unit with a few quirks

First of all I should say that I bought this to use with two keyboards, so I am not really in the target market. The unit is designed by Source Audio a manufactuer of effects pedals that are targeted at guitarists - it's intended to be used with their products (hence the special extra connector), but you can also use it as a "normal" dual expression pedal.

In general looks and feels like a solid unit. Steel case, professional feel. Doesn't slide about, good rubber foot grip.

The unit worked directly with my Roland FP-7 Stage Piano and would probably work with other Roland keyboards. For Korg you need to build a special cable, reversing the ring and tip - I did this and it also works.

There are no switches to change type or reverse polarity, but this is also fixable by creating special cables if you need to.

Few wierd tihngs -

It comes with one(!) 1/4" TRS cable and the special proprietary cable for using with Source's own products. So this means you specifically went out and bought a _dual_ pedal, but it comes with _one_ cable. That's strange - I didn't really mind because I wanted to use my own cables that are longer, but packaging a dual pedal with one cable seems odd. The supplied cable is about 1m - fine for patching a pedalboard (which is the intended market), not really long enough for keyboards.

Next thing - the sensitivity control only affects one of the outputs. In my case no problem at all, but something to be aware of.

The sensitivity knob looks and feels a bit fragile and it sticks out of the side of the unit. Likely to get damaged - or just moved, whereas other pedals have this recessed because you usually want a fixed setting. I don't really mind about this because I don't need this knob - if it broke I would just short-circuit it inside, but not everyone is handy with a soldering iron. Tip to Source Audio - if you ever redesign this thing, then make this knob recessed.

By the way, it is totally passive. On one forum someone said it needs batteries. It doesn't.

There's not a lot of choice in the world of dual expression pedals - this one seems like the best option to me. The Mission unit is quite a lot more expensive and I can't imagine that it is worth the difference. If you want the reverse feature of the Mission unit just build a special cable reversing the tip and ground at one end - problem solved.

So, all in all, pretty happy with this one, but it's not perfect yet!
