u2adrian1000 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Hello, I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum. I have no idea where to put this actually. I actually owned a line 6 m13 , and Line 6 HXFX. I eventually returned back to pedals. One pedal I re-bought which I always loved was the Line 6 Verbzilla. Old new stock. I got one brand new just about a year ago. It works wonderful for shimmer (octo effect) but I want to dynamically increase and decrease only the shimmer (octo) during a performance. I don't want to increase or decrease the entire volume of my rig. So what I'm asking is I have a Line 6 Mission Engineering control expression pedal already purchased. Is there any way I can add it to my Verbizilla to control the range of the octo effect dynamically during a song? It's not enough that I turn my Verbzilla on and off. I want moreso to control the degree of octo shimmer during the song, both highs and lows. If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it.

phil_m Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The Verbzilla doesn’t have an expression pedal input, so there’s no way to enable expression pedal control of anything in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u2adrian1000 Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 That's too bad. Is there any reason you'd think it's still better for me to keep the verbzilla as opposed to going for a strymon big sky with expression pedal input for the shimmer effect other than price? My current pedalboard rig consists of: Boss CS-2 , TS 808, Eventide Timefactor, Line 6 Verbzilla, Line6 Mission control Pedal Guitar: USA Fender Strat Special Amp: Vox AC4C1BL P.S. Does the Strymon Big Sky Shimmer effect work with Line 6's Mission Control Pedal? Or would I have to replace the expression pedal too if I went that route? As opposed to the Big Sky do you know of any cheaper and better options to replace the Verbzilla Pedal, to still get me the dynamically controlled shimmer effect I need through expression pedal input.

u2adrian1000 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 I bought a Big Sky.. It's great but I can't get my Line 6 Mission Engineering Pedal to control the shimmer... I set the EP to on, choose heel and setting , choose toe and setting, and save the settings but it doesn't seem to have any effect when I move the pedal from heel to toe. Yet I can easily plug in the expression pedal into the expression jack, so naturally I feel it should work with it right? Do I need a different expression pedal? Which is the best one for the Big Sky? Cheers Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
