thanks. I forgot to mention that I’ve done that. I’ve tried volume knob full clockwise, full counter-clockwise, and middle with the switch flipped one way, and I’ve tried those three configurations with the switch flipped the other.

In the Octave Bend, Step Bend, and Filter modes, I can use the expression pedal to modulate the sound. In the Freeze Gliss mode, I can sustain a note or a chord by depressing the Exp Button located in the middle of the unit. Then, I can play additional notes or chords while the original still rings (just as the literature says I should). When I try to substitute the expression pedal for the Exp Button, nothing happens. I play a chord. Then as soon as I start playing the follow on chords, the original chord stops sounding.

Thanks much. I’ll give it another shot tonight.

Thanks for the templates. They’ll be very handy long after this issue is resolved.

I’m pretty well convinced that there is something wrong with the pedal. When I use the Exp Button on the HOG, I can get a long, clear, sustained note or chord to play over. I’ve explored all configurations of the expression pedal (toe all the way up to toe all the way down, volume extreme clockwise to extreme counter, and bottom toggle each way), and I can’t get anything out of Freeze Gliss.

Thanks for the help. Musician’s Friend has a pretty goo exchange policy, so I’ll just send it back, and hope that a new pedal will resolve the issue.
