In my old setup the volume pedal was the most important effect. (You can do lots of things with a simple volume pedal like crescendos and sforzatos, violin tone, (squashy, "effect" type of) compression and weird tremolos!) Now on the KPA I miss my HILTON active volume pedal. I can hook up a BOSS FL-50L with a y-cable as EXP2 but to play the volume on such a shabby plastic device is quite sad, when you are used to a really smooth Volume pedal from the world of pedal steel guitar players. Now when I try to do the same y-cable-connection with the HILTON it won't read anything no matter how I connect the in and out jacks or switch the the Expression Type (1 or 2). Any ideas what could be done here? Is it possible that the y-cable does only work with passive pedals? The HILTON has a buffer on the input and output.
I know I could insert it into the loop but then I loose slot X in the effects rack and I also add two stages stages of digital conversion (DA and AD). OK, this will probably what I will have to do but maybe someone of you has another idea.
PS: >> this thread here >> reeds like it is possible to use an optical pedal but not one with buffers. So maybe a Morley will do for me?
