Subject:Re: Pedals: Was Yamaha FC-7


The Casio WK-3000 and 3500 didn't offer an expression pedal input. So there
was no choice to use an FC-7 which must plug into an expression pedal jack.
So the Ernie Ball was my best option. I bought the stereo because I had
some thoughts of running stereo for a while, but wound up remaining mono.

As far as your question about the pedal interacting with the keyboards
internal engine, well as I said, that's not an option on the Casio WK-3000. (I'm
not sure if they now have it on the newer models such as the 3200, 3300 or
3800.)

But you bring up a good point. I expected using an EV-5 on my Roland
VR-760, would give me more than just volume, perhaps some grit or something when I
use it. But so far I don't notice anything different than an in line volume
pedal would produce.

Anyone have an comments on what I'm experiencing, what I should expect to
experience with an expression pedal versus an in line volume pedal?

Thanks
Gene

That's good to know as that's the board I'm thinking may very well
replace my aging an1x at some point. that board still has some miles
on it though. I'm a little concerned about using that type of pedal
as opposed to the fc-7 into the volume input, as it won't be
interacting with the an1x's engine but be outside of the chain.
Doesn't really matter as I get most of my overdrive from my amp
anyway. I do wonder if there's any reason to go stereo vs mono and do
you think a juniour would feel as good as an fc-7? (the ebjr is only
appealing to me as my gadget bag is already pretty full.
