Hi everybody!
Got me a Modfactor and I love it!
I was thinking of making my own expression pedal out of a beat up wah pedal and I'm not sure of exactly how to tackle it.
I understand that the expression pedal input on the MF is a mono jack, and that the pot needs to be no greater than 25k ohm, but as the Roland EV-5 works (10k ohm pot) Then I assume that the pot can be anything under 25k…I'll get a 25k one anyway…
If I switch the pot in the wah and remove all of the other guts, can I just wire up the jack to the pot and that's it? like the attached picture
I was wondering this because the EB VP JR 25k is said to be active – I was thinking that the active part was when using a guitar with active pickups when using it as a volume pedal, if this is not the case then it seems to suggest that the VP has a powered output when using it as an expression pedal, so how would the wiring/components work with that?
If I'm right in thinking that just wiring up a pot like in the diagram above, then there would be no need for a power supply so that would be an advantage.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks guys!
Oh yeah! – +1 on the Verbfactor idea – massive hall reverb with full wet mix is my idea of heaven! I play with a cello bow on occasion and having reverb like that sounds awesome!
Maybe the inclusion of a fender twin type reverb and a warm plate reverb would be nice. A tails option (reverb continues to a natural decay when the effect is turned off rather than a sudden halt) that switches into true bypass when the reverb is finished decaying would be awesome – digitech hardwire reverb has a tails option but that means that the signal is buffered continuously meaning no true bypass at all.
