Expression Pedals

Hey everybody! How many expression pedals are you all using? I'm thinking about buying a third to have a dedicated pedal for wah, volume, and morphing. Is this overkill?

I'm running 3 like that and it works great.

If you have the room on your pedal board, why not..

I run two pedals, Mission EP-1 for Wah and Yamaha FC7 for volume, as I like the longer range.

I guess, it depends on what you intend using morphing for. Morphing can also be triggered via buttons e. g. Rig Buttons of Remote/Stage or an external momentary switch. In that case the ramps defined by Rise Time and Fall Time in Rig Settings are applied. Ramps can be set to 0, if instand change is needed. For some applications such a controlled ramp is more precise than a pedal e. g. continuously building up a crystal delay over 16 bars.

I am trying to recreate some of the "digicrap" effects that Trey Anastasio from Phish uses. A lot of techniques he uses he's sweeping through some type of range, so I think a pedal would be best. The first thing I want to do is take a slow tremolo that's almost not existent, and sweep through so it increases significantly in rate and a little in intensity.

i have mine set up with a mission pedal for wah, a Boss FV500 for Morph and a cheap Zoom pedal for volume.
