Zodiaq77 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I am wanting to buy an additional expression pedal or two for my Helix floor unit, which Mission expression pedal is used for the floor unit? I see the one that is made for the rack but I do not know if that one is compatible or not? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I think you want the EP1-L6, because that one does not have the toe switch. The SP1-L6 does have the switch, but I don't think the floor unit has a port for the switch cable. I'm running the rack version with a controller (that does have the EXP toe cable port) so sorry if I am wrong about the floor unit not having that port.

PeterHamm Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Many EXP and Volume pedals will work, too. If you already have an VP Jr., for instance, try that before buying something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuhajla Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I use the cheap plastic EP1s. They are fine as long and you don't jump on them. You can get 3-4 of them for the price of one Mission pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you'd need 3 or 4 of them to last as long as one Mission pedal too... ;) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had one for a few years now. Used it a long time with my M13 and M5. Still works like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jclarkguitarist Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I have two of the mission pedals, they look nice but I prefer the feel and taper of the Ernie ball better for tweaking volume in the middle of a set. Much easier to make slight adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 And you'd need 3 or 4 of them to last as long as one Mission pedal too... ;) :lol: I have two EX-1s still, and they both still work. I think I got the first one in 2000, when I got my MM4. I bought another in 2002 or so... They've been mounted on pedalboards, thrown in gig bags, stepped on, kicked, etc, and they're still working fine. I did buy two Mission Engineering pedals for the Helix, but mainly for the stability of a heavier pedal. The EX-1 are much-maligned, but they aren't really fragile. I actually think those EX-1s might be some of the oldest pieces of gear I own. They've been used with multiple generations of other Line 6 gear that's been sold off or put in storage.

mattw137 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 If black is ok, you can buy right from Line 6: http://store.line6.com/mission-expression-pedal-for-line-6-products.html I went to the Mission site because I wanted a red spring-loaded pedal and a green normal pedal.

spikey Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The EX-1 are much-maligned, but they aren't really fragile. I'm sure they are great. I was Just comparing the wear and tear of hard plastic versus metal. Other than in water metal usually wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
