Assistance required for Ernie Ball volume pedal and Moog Low pass filter

Hi guys,
I'd heard that this volume pedal can be used as an expression pedal, so due to the fact its built like a tank - I bought one. (The smaller passive one 250k i think?)

I'm trying to use it to control my LPF but it doesnt appear to be working.

I've checked the manuel for the Moog and still none the wiser.

Anyone able to assist?

Ta

Dave

Are you using a Stereo cable?

I wasn't no - Is that a requirement? I did read the manual whilst at a band practice so i may have missed a few parts.

Also, I think you need a 50k pot (like the EP-2) to get the full 0-5v CV scale out of the pedal.

Will the 250k pot be far too high to actually work? Damn that passive word!

Cheers Shep.

If you can solder, buy a length of instrument cable & chop it in 1/2 & buy 2 mono jacks & 2 stereo jacks. this way if the stereo to 2 mono's don't work, you can make a stereo-stereo with 1/2 (1/2d again) & a mono to mono lead for whatever else. :)

The difference the pot will make is how far it will affect the parameter by, which if you're using it to control the Cut Off, probably wont be an issue.
The Moog EP-2 Exp pedal has a pot at the side to adjust the resistance & I usually have this turned back a bit so I have more control over a narrower frequency.
