cchimi Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I'm trying to use a Valeton Surge EP-2 with my new Stomp. The Stomp recognizes it, and responds to it. But, weirdly, instead of climbing from, say, 0-100, it climbs from 0-100 in about half the throw of the Surge, then dives from 100-0 in the second half of the throw. I've tried three different cables: TRS to TRS TRS to TS TRS to TS and TS (Y cable, maybe better described as TRS to TS and RS?) All configurations operate the same. Using the Y cable, it makes no difference if the Surge is on the TS or RS leg. I've gone into global settings on the Stomp and inverted the ring, with no discernible difference. I hooked up a BOSS FV7 pedal, and it works OK, but I can't use it for this purpose. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianguitar Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 exactly the same situation here. Using Valeton EP 2 to my HX Effects and it goes 0-100-0 from heel to toe motion....following this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchimi Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Sorry to say I never got it to work. I ended up getting a DOD mini expression pedal, which works fine. I gave the Valeton to my duo mate, who uses it as an analog volume pedal for her guitar and looper. I suspect I could have rewired the Valeton to work with my HX Stomp, but it wasn't worth the effort. I also suspect the weirdness is peculiar to Line6 somehow, not to the general run of effects pedal products, but I can't prove that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 L6 requires a very specific wiring for an expression pedal... not all pedals will work with it. Unless you buy something that is stated to work with a L6 product, you will likely need to mod it in order to get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchimi Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 My research (conducted AFTER I had purchased the Valeton pedal) suggests you are correct. As I said, I think I could have rewired that pedal, but it works great for my duo mate, and the DOD seems to work fine with the Stomp. So, I never really explored the rewiring scenario. Hopefully, the information you share here will help others to find the right pedal out of the gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
