Pri yon Joni look at oldbloodnoise expression slider, I think I would work well for what you want

[@jeanbaptisegrenouille5774]

you could adjust the action of this pedal just play with the screw on the side until it behaves as you want to. Have a nice day

[@Johnny-oy9fh]

You can increase the resistance by tightening the Allen bolt on the side with a Allen key...👍

It's an Align Key bro 😁

Just got EV-30. Use it with my Katana's and pedals...superb performance...

[@alexandreavelar9696]

Dude, just tighten the lateral screws below the stepping surface and you get more resistance.

right!

Phenomenal video, thank you for doing this and being so thorough and comprehensive with what the differences are between the two. I appreciate that the whole video was dedicated to presenting the information and you didn't waste time with playing guitar and not actually being informational about the pedals.

GREAT VID. . . GREAT INFO. . . I just received my eV-5 today for my keyboard--my first expression pedal. Im always more comfortable with pedals that are substantial. I might return it for the EV-30,

[@artyomhvans]

this helped me a lot - thanks for the comparison!

[@mikeabbott2455]

Thanks for a great review. I was looking for a metal pedal at a reasonable price. I hate plastic pedals. Dunno why i never thought of Boss. I already have the FV500L as a keyboard volume pedal. Superb quality. This is just for a trigger into an effects pedal, so perfect. Keep up the good work.

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

PLENTY of people use the EV30 with synths 👍

[@Lowered_Gadh]

Love my ROLAND EV-5 from ADawliah Al-Khobar Saudi Arabia

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

I think the "Inverse" or "Inversion" switch is also because some people actually like to push the pedal up (at the base/ front) rather than pushing it down to activate it's effects. If I remember, I saw a YT video of someone doing that and explaining why they like it better.

[@alexz2643]

Very useful video for me. Thanx!

Have you ever used both sides of the output. I have no idea to use this with my GT1000 CORE. Documentation says it can use 2 pedals but I dont use pedals, I use the GT1000 processor. I use no external pedals other than the GT1000 COre, and I would like to see if I can use the expression pedal for 2 effects within the processor. Perhaps, wah and dive, or volume, and delay amount. I just dont know how to separate the 2 while using the pedal. . Thanks in advance

You might want to also check out the Chords of Orion channel for this info. Cheers!

[@Renato2Guitar]

Great pedal but this short cable is a bad joke

[@rveurope]

Would be curious how you assign such pedal with a Gt 1 or 001?..👍👌

[@yaoguangtang1759]

How about the control accuracy of EV-5 and EV-30 in the entire range?

[@danpocetti1453]

Hi! Can I use the two pedals as an expression pedal and also a volume pedal?

[@priyonjoni]

That depends on if your device allows you to do that.

[@bluesmanjsb]

have u tried using it with boss ps-6?

[@limjoeyee]

is Roland EV-5 compatible to MXR M300 Reverb pedal?

[@gfdfgaadfgadfg2309]

do i need battery for ev-30?

[@timandmel777]

I am curious as to the volume curve on each but more of an objective comparison which would require an ohm meter.

[@handel1111]

can Boss EV30 be used for keyboards ???

[@priyonjoni]

Yes

[@handel1111]

[@savanaviolenta]

Can I use this pedal EV 5 for guitar pedals?

[@priyonjoni]

If you have a pedal that requires an expression pedal, then yes.

Oh your microphone makes you sound like your talking through cotton. Its terribly distracting! Please invest in better audio!!!

[@bretttrommler756]

I have a Katana 100 Mk2 head, 212 cabinet, and a Boss GA-FC to control the onboard effects in the Katana. I want to purchase an expression pedal; probably an EV-30. What I'm wondering is this... the EV-30 has two EXP jacks. The GA-FC has two EXP jacks. Obviously, I want to connect my EV-30 EXP to the GA-FC EXP. Would there be any benefit to connecting both of the EV-30 EXP jacks to both of the GA-FC EXP jacks? If I did that, could I set it up so that one is a wah and one is a volume (obviously not used at the same time)?

[@jeffyee3680]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

This guy will say anything just to get a free item

[@priyonjoni]

Guess "anything" didn't work since I have a receipt paying for both.
