I will say, as a guitar player, your channel is super helpful. I love the pedals you demo, and how you show how they actually work and sound. Guitar players are lucky, they have a channel like yours

[@therewasascene]

Agreed! Thanks Emily for pointing out the range switch on the EP-3 $50 in the houuuuse On the note of parameter control, I was all about being able to being able to set heel/toe for whatever settings you want until I owned a pedal with that capability, but now I think a simpler “select which parameter the exp pedal controls” is more up my alley. The Mr. Black Pana-trem and Supro analog delay are like that. Seems the best for creating the sounds you want on the fly. I think the old blood noise slider guy is rad too. Shit all their exp variants are tight. Joysticks and springs look fun too :)

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you SO much Lion!!!! That means a lot to me :) I wanted to make this video because I never had a guide like this for expression pedals when I was starting with pedals and didn’t know anything about them!!

[@absinthetic]

I also have to agree with Lion. Your videos are very informative and entertaining, as well as inventive, since you use the pedals in a way guitar players never would thing to do so! Keep up the great work!

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you so much!!! ❤️

[@aries_9130]

Totally agreed, I'm a guitar player as well and enjoy this a lot. Watching these actually makes me wanna get a harp lol.

[@TheFULLMETALCHEF]

Can’t live without them. I have three boards with two pedals each. Every rack effect has a pedal. Some songs it looks like I’m tap dancing on stage.

[@emilyharpist]

Hahaha I need to see those boards!! And that tap dancing 😂

[@DJSockmonkeyMusic]

Now that I've heard you say "read the manual" I'm developing a serious emotional attachment to your videos. Seriously, tears of joy at hearing someone other than me say "read the manual." Personally, I'm a huge user and fan of the rocker "wahwah" style foot controllers for expression pedals, because I don't have anywhere near the number of arms I actually need. Edit: 3, btw. I have 3 expression pedals.

[@commodoor6549]

Consider starting a KZbin channel where you show the pedal and say, "just read the manual." I know I'd subscribe. Although, you might want to consider saying... "Just read the manual and leave me the F alone" 🤣

With Velcro and space placement on a board, you can use some of the others easier with your foot(and they’re smaller). But, I also feel that the traditional ones are more logical in most cases.

[@sacuna3333]

[@thisguy2973]

The avalanche run is perfect. I quit playing guitar for about a year after playing for decades due to burnout, then last year I got back into it full swing and the Avalanche Run was the first pedal I bought. I knew it had an expression jack but thought “why would I want one for a reverb/pedal?” I got an Ep-3 a couple months ago and that’s when I really unlocked the pedal. I didn’t know that if expression is controlling the Time setting, it changes the way it works quite a bit that’s only achieved with expression. It’s just amazing and makes me happy I got back into playing.

[@JamesSeaberry]

I have become a huge fan of Earthquaker pedals. I have to look at some of the other brands you discuss that I am not familiar with. Thanks again Maestra!

[@PedalPlayhouse]

It’s really great to see all these expression pedals and how they are used! I have a few of these and as a gamer myself I really love the pineal gland a lot and it’s diagonal axis options over just X and Y typical expressions! I didn’t think I needed more but now you mentioned something I had never thought of before! I didn’t think I could use the OBNE slider before but the revelation that I could use my nose opens a new door of possibilities I had not considered! Haha thank you for that!

[@simonpark843]

This is such a great video - your relaxed style of presentation really allows for a proper exploration of what each pedal does. Hearing them all played on a harp somehow gives you a different perspective about how they'd sound if you applied them to a guitar (or that's my experience). Your playing was melodic and gently melancholic (in a therapeutic way...it's a compliment, not a bad thing). I always look forward to hearing you play and finding out what ideas and sounds you're experimenting with. Thank you for another lovely video!

Expression pedals are such a useful thing in pedal art. The last one you showed is the deal breaker imo, so interesting. Btw, your matching lipstick is the 10/10 element in this video

[@williampamblanco]

Super cool video! I hadn't thought about how a lot of these are great as a more tangible way to add effects to a dry signal after recording. It's a lot more musical than just, say, clicking and dragging sliders.

[@VacFink]

If I had to make a reaaaally weird expression pedal I'd call it the Dan Rather. It would feature tremolo with clippy distortion, a single button that just said Spaghetti under a light shaped like Guy Fierre's head. All of the knobs would be labeled sauce and go from 11 to flavortown. Another great informative video. Thanks.

[@sixstringedthing]

The wackier/fancier ones are interesting, especially the Ramper, but I really like the simplicity and wide range of uses for the Bookmark, the Chase Bliss roller and the good old wah-stype footpedal. Has anyone made a widget that takes input from a webcam and uses facial recognition algorithms to let you control a pedal by glaring/smiling/poking your tongue out at it? Y'know, a literal Expression Pedal. Reckon that would be a fun project to attempt!

[@emilyharpist]

I'm honestly surprised at how much I love the roller!! My least favorite is probably the more traditional foot wah-type one, cause I'm so bad at using one!! lmao

[@sirzebra]

There's actually a lot of ways to use point cloud data (kinect-like cams) or even rvb data (standard video / webcams) to make music with, mostly using TouchDesigner linked with something like Ableton (or any daw that allows external routing in/outs) You can then compose with litteral expressions, but also with a lot more, like movement, colors, depth, saturation, lightness, negative space and pretty much everything you can think of. The "simple" use of such routings is to allow theremin-like controls of any vst you throw at it.

[@kirkbolas4985]

Thank you for sharing the various and sundry types of expression pedals offered in the marketplace. While I’m fairly confident that there are types not demonstrated in your video, your coverage is the most comprehensive expression pedal video that I’ve encountered on You Tube to date. I’m a bass guitar and mandolin player. As an aside, “el garatge” is Catalan for “the garage”.

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much!!! There are definitely other types, but I haven’t been able to get my hands on some of them yet!! I really appreciate the kind words - I made this video because there was a time where this video would have really helped me out, but I couldn’t find one like it, so I hope it helps a lot of people!!!

Great video! I don't think I've seen an expression-pedal-only video. Very inspiring. I don't know why I have never really used expression pedals much, and I do have the Moog pedal just collecting dust. I'll have to change that now. Looks like most of them are passive, with only the Leems and the OBNE ramp pedal requiring power.

Thanks Paul!! I really wanted to make this video cause I sure could have used one like it when I was first starting!! The Moog pedal is super cool!!! I hope you can find a cool new use for it!!

You sold me an expression pedal today. I don't know which one, but ughhh yeah I need one.

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

¡¿OH?! You play a really cool harp from the symphony! Damn?! That harp probably really lends itself well to those pedals with the Expression option. Thanks for pointing out that they generally use the TRS type cables, this makes me curious enough to look into that! And IF you’re into analog synthesizer gear, with the control voltages? You can plug control voltage signals into those expression pedal jacks! Just be certain that you know that your CV ranges are within your pedals’ tolerances. ¡¡THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!

[@analogMensch]

The little switch saying "standard" and "other" on the bottom of your change the wiring between the pot and the TRS jack. On all pedals you have ground on one side of the pot, a fixed reference voltage on the other side, and the output voltage value you adjust with your pedal (something between reference voltage and ground) on the wiper. There are two types of wiring on the market. One known as the Yamaha type have reference voltage on tip contact and output voltage on ring contact of the TRS. The other type known as Roland type is wired the opposite way. So depending on what pedal you plug in your expression pedal, you the one of these settings. There are also some solutions using just a TS jack. They have a fixed resistance in front of the expresson pedal jack, and the expression pedal is used to do the other resistance to ground. Works fine with a special cable pedals with 10k, but with higher values than 10k you only can use a small part of your pedal way to control the full range. If I remember right, Moog use the Roland type wiring for standard.

[@paulforester6996]

What some call weird, others call cool. Very good explanation of expression pedals, BTW. I learned something, and it didn't hurt one bit. I'll be checking out Sweetwater's gearfest this year, for pedal deals on any pedals, you showed me that I want. If I run into that JHS guy, I'll tell him his pedals suck, and tell him you told me so. LOL

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

[@benluna1474]

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH I just made the connection between pedals as musical computer technology and the modular synthesizer video that Rob Scallon put out a little bit ago. That is another video that I'm chunking. So, do I understand it correctly that expression pedals change how much a "thinger" does its thing? If the pedal's thing is reverb rate, then the expression pedal will alter the reverb pedal's rate, so instead of wwwwWWWWWAAAAHHHHhhhhhhwwwwwwWWWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHhhhhh you get wWAHhwWAHhwWAHhwWAHh. Also, Leems Neems is a one dimensional pedal, in that it only works on one axis (in and out), Pineal Gland is two dimensional (in, out, left, right)...what about...stay with me!...what about a three dimensional pedal?! You'd have a gantry that slides up and down the pedal, with a bead suspended by string or wire on the gantry that could move up and down and left and right?! I don't know if that would be musically effective or gimmicky, but coming up with it helps to internalize all the tons I'm learning. Thanks for sending me this video! I feel so much more equipped to talk about music from more recently than, oh, ~1860. You rock.

[@emilyharpist]

Hahaha I’m so glad you got so much out of it!!! I made this a while ago just for fun but it’s been hard to fit into my video release schedule!!! And yeah you pretty much got it!!! A 3 axis one would be REALLY cool but I feel like it would get difficult to find. A practical application for - I feel like sometimes it’s hard to even find 2 pedals that work together well with pineal gland or the Chase Bliss one, so 3 would be nuts!!! Hahaha I would love for one to exist though. Thanks so much for watching Ben, I really appreciate you!!!

Hey Emily! Lovely video, as always. If you don't know it yet, you really should try the Hot Hand 3 by Source Audio... it's a wireless expression ring with three sensors, each one controls a different parameter. You just move your hand around and the sensors do the rest. It's a lot of fun :) It's very popular in the bass community. You have a lovely hand movement when playing the harp. This ring can help you channel those movements into your playing.

There are some pedals that use an expression pedal with a TS cable. The Digitech RP100 is one. The more common probably is a TRS and I had to try my old volume pedal and then read the manual for the Empress Zoia to find out that it needs a TRS capable expression pedal to work with the CV In port.

[@emilyharpist]

Yes!! Like the line 6 pedals need a TS also!!! The only expression pedals I’ve used needed a TRS, the TS is super uncommon!!

Just to make things more confusing the Line6 DL4 series DOES use a normal patch cable for expression, and is additionally difficult in some other way; love the big green weirdo. Thanks for the rolling, sliding, parametric adventure in making more and less of things. The bookmark pedal is very cool; is the graphic a print of an old book page, or are they cutting them out of actual books? (cute fr og g tho) Transmisser is so underrated, and a good friend of Exp. Ramper. (my favorite sound of the episode) Wondering if you've ever tried the Z.Vex Probe pedals; they are pedals that use a theremin style of capacitance to control the parameters. Fair warning, the Tremolo Probe is more like a volume pedal. Thank you for the video, and all the best.

[@emilyharpist]

Yes!!! I left out the Line 6 TS expression pedal, but I always found that to be odd! I didn’t want it to get confusing or spend too much time on cables 😂 Transmisser is so understated, I love it SO much!!! I use it as often as I can!

[@Mordred478]

Because our hands are busy when we're playing, as I was watching this video I started wondering if there exists a way to save the entire sequence of changes to your effects pedals, brought about during a song by means of moving the expression pedal. So, you could think of this as a kind of "patch," but one that remembers a sequence of electronic events, and sends control voltage to the affected accordingly. Maybe it could be done from within a DAW. Maybe it would be more practical for a DAW that had this kind of functionality to be connected an Axe FX III or similar unit, since all of its effects are electronic emulations of pedals.

[@emilyharpist]

It DOES exist! The expression looper in the PedalBrainz! I made a video on it a few months ago!
