1976fenderhead Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I used a 25k Ernie Ball VP Jr for a long time with it and it worked beautifully. I had it for sale with the M5 but unfortunately it sold before you bought it... Before that I also had a Bespeco one but got rid of it, very unreliable. Since the Line 6 ones are pretty much the same, I'd avoid them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 My official Line 6 one died after a fairly short space of time and despite being kept securely in a pedal case so I can't recommend them. I'd 2nd the Ernie Ball, a couple of friends use them and they seem very well made and have a nice feel to them. Mission Control pedals do a Line 6 specific expression which looks very good and is around £100. That's if you can find a UK dealer with them in stock.

EskimoBassist Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I use an official line 6 one but they're over priced and badly made. Mission Engineering ones are sick but are a tad more pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The moog ep-2 works with it & it's solid (though I've had to change the cord in it once). Also has a handy potentiometer on the side for adjusting it's range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Ev5 didn't work well with mine at all, with the pitch shift it wouldn't travel the whole way, and would hit different values with every sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to not have to spend £100 odd on a decent pedal unless I have to. Although £40 isn't a massive outlay. Decisions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatguy59 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Roland EV5 is what I use, as long as you remember to keep the knob on the side up at 10 (I have a bit of tape keeping it there) then it's fine. One minor annoyance is that it works in reverse by default, but it's easy enough to set the values the other way around, you just put the pedal all the way back, change the settings to where you want, and push it down and put them where you want to go. I use mine for pitch glide (just an octave down) and haven't had any issues with it. I can try it across the full range if you'd like as someone above had a problem with theirs.

It's quite long to start with & all I did was unwind from the spindle inside & tie it back on, that was @ a year ago when playing at home & it's been fine since. The pedal itself is made of a thick abs plastic & has a metal baseplate. It feels solid underfoot & haven't had any gig issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
