Mr Fudge Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Love them or hate them (I love mine) the expression pedal on my Boss ME 50 has stopped working. It only now works as a volume pedal and I relied heavily on the Wah bit for some parts of our set where everyone else is playing keyboards. The rest of the FX works perfectly. I have tried factory reset and had a good look through the book but to no avail. Any ideas??? If it is kvackered would a guitar wah or crybaby be just as good. Cheers.

cheddatom Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I find it very strange that it would work as a volume pedal and not as an exp pedal. Surely the volume function is just another type of expression to the processor? A nice wah would probably be better, but, you might have different patches on your ME-50 where the wah is before or after distortion, and you wouldn't be able to do both. Are you playing bass? Do you get a satisfactory tone with just your ME-50? Is it the bass version? If you're looking for a wah and have some cash, I recommend a zvex wah probe.

queenofthedepths Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I use an ME-50B and a Crybaby bass, which has much better wah, so yeah, get one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fudge Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yes it is the ME 50B. I dont understand the pedal working as volume but not an expression either. I know there are patches with the wah, but I like the ME50 as a stomp box that doesnt require much pre planning. I think I will go for the seperate wah. Thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
