Subject:Re: Owner of a Cx3 Korg.. lost his original $180 expression pedal

Just one man's opinion:

The $50 *NEW* Yamaha pedal is the best expression pedal I've ever used -- end of discussion. YMMV. (When I said "available on the Web," I meant brand new, from authorized Yamaha dealers like SameDay Music and B&H Photo.)
