Suggestions for mini expression pedal.

[jesuscares]

can anyone suggest a mini size expression pedal for Helix that works well without mods?

Thanks

These are smaller than your normal expression pedal. Expensive though.

Thanks.I wonder if it’s suitable for Helix. For some reason folks prefer the  mission pedal.What cannot this pedal do compared to that? This being a L6 pedal.

I have the DOD mini expression pedal

works perfect, you need to set it to TS mode.

 

Expression pedals for the helix need to be the TS type ( Tip / Sleeve ) rather than the far more common TRS type ( Tip / Ring / Sleeve ) .

 

I didn't realise this at first and found TRS pedals could work fine one moment, then start doing odd stuff then next, so whatever pedal you get make sure it is a TS type with a resistance of around 10 to 20K.

 

That's why people go for the mission pedal, its set up correctly for the slightly odd way line 6 kit works.

 

If you cant find a TS pedal you like, you can try running a TRS pedal but using a standard mono lead to connect it rather than the more usual stereo lead expression pedals use.

 

That will convert it to TS, but its a bit of a gamble if the resistance will be to high to use reliably.
