ROLAND Ev-5 Expression Pedal for Synths And Keyboards,Black

I bought this when I realised my Yamaha FC-7 did not work properly with other brand keyboards, including my Arturia Keylab Mk2 and my Roland FPX digital piano. Whilst made primarily of plastic, this seems quite solid and robust. The pedal also features a minimum volume adjustment which helps you fine tune the range of the pedal. Great when used with organ sounds for swell, but equally works nicely with the FPX pianos for adjusting pad layers or overall volume control. You can also use with some keyboards to assign to filter cut off or resonance for some funky wah wah effects!Doesn't slide around the floor and easy to operate with the foot. Very pleased with the overall performance.

Delivered on time. Husband hasn't complained so must be good.

I am using the Boss EV-5 with my Boss GT-001 desktop guitar effects unit. Its amazing and I didn't not realise how useful this pedal is. Depending on the pedal you connect it to you can control any parameter of an effect. So if it was a delay it would be the delay time or the effect level and blend that in.With the Boss GT-001 your able to assign multiple effects together so you could have the delay and the direct mix of an overdrive pedal come in with each effect coming in at different levels.The only issue I had was not with the pedal but setting up the pedal with the Boss GT-001. There are so many options it took a little while to work out how to set the pedal to control the effect or effects I wanted in the way that i wanted. With a little playing around its quite easy to work out.

I bought this for my Roland VR-730 Combo keyboard and it's a perfect match, it defaults as a volume pedal but can be changed to control other effects and best of all the speed of the Leslie effect speaker.

I returned the pedal as I couldn't get it to work for my unit so check compatibility before purchase. I think this would be a good volume pedal but doesn't feel sturdy enough to assign as a wah wah which would be a more punishing application.

I've been using it at home and gigs and it's sturdy enough if you take it easy. Don't expect a miniature tank under your foot where you could put all your weight on it.It does what it has to do with class, it offers great value for the money and also has a good range (I mostly use as a cry baby/wah pedal). Light on weight without losing quality on its finishing.2 cms (or nearly a inch if you will) longer and it would be perfect but for now, it fits for purpose and I cannot complain at all.

Easy to control the wave of wah-wah, depth of echo, and length of delay effect. Duly, just use as an extra pedal to control the sound parameters of the multi-effect processors , such as hotone ampera 2, Boss GT1000core, Line6 TX and many others.

This a good pedal. It does what it is supposed to do, however if do not intend to use it with a Roland keyboard, I strongly recommend that you purchase a different brand. This EV-5 does not work on my Yamaha keyboards and clavinova. I am assuming that it may not work on some other brand either. This is the only reason why I do not give it a 5 star.
