Expression Pedals

Expression pedals are commonly used to control reverb and delay effects in real time, leading to dynamic, interesting tonal qualities that can really elevate a performance. They are popular among ambient musicians for controlling reverb and delay pedals in real time. This allows them to fade between low-key settings and a cavernous, infinite wash by adjusting ‘mix’ and ‘feedback’ parameters.

Expression Pedals are useful pedals that allow players to utilise their other pedals, completely hands-free. Similar in appearance to a wah pedal, expression pedals take the form of a footswitch that allows for precise and quick control.

Expression pedals connect directly to the pedal or pedals you wish to control, they are connected by a cable known as a TRS cable. Expression pedals connect to pedals using a cable called a TRS cable - also known as a balanced jack. Although these look similar to normal guitar cables, they are not the same thing.

Expression Pedals allow you to control other pedals hands-free. This allows for a creative, interactive experience where pedals can be subtly - or radically - adjusted in tandem with your guitar playing.
