    Hi all, just got around to using an expression pedal with my Superego+.

    I was using it in Live mode, so just the effects, and selected pitch, which honestly sounds great.

    So the rate knob controls the amount of the shift, from -1 octave to +1 octave, and the depth knob controls the “mix”, between the pitch-shifted signal and the dry signal.

    I added an expression pedal and I’m having a little trouble figuring out how it works. It does sweep through the controls but I’m having a little trouble figuring out how.

    Just for the sake of an example, let’s say I want to have it sweep from 0 shift down to one octave below, and I want the mix to be 100% shifted signal. Do I turn the rate knob all the way counterclockwise and the depth knob all the way clockwise, and then engage the pedal with the expression pedal with the toe up??

    Thanks for your help!

    which expression pedal do you have?
    have no clue how to help with your case but I can’t even make my expression pedal to work with it… :-/

    I am using a Boss FV-500HI pedal. Technically, it’s a volume pedal but it is also an expression pedal. The biggest problem I see people having is not with the expression pedal, but rather the cable – make sure you are using a TRS cable, not TS. If you’re not sure, just buy a new TRS cable. You can get a decent Hosa TRS cable for $7 or so. I have this one:

    Now as for the issue with the sweep, I actually got a really good answer in a Facebook group.

    “With the box in bypass mode, and the expression pedal set to heel down, hold the middle button down until the green LED appears by the FX section. Adjust settings for heel down, then move to toe down and do the same. Don’t toggle between heel down/toe down swtting while programming. When satisfied, press and hold middle button until the green LED turns to red, done. “

    I did that and it works great…and it actually is in the manual, but I didn’t read the manual that carefully.
