An expression pedal is a foot-operated device that enables musicians to manipulate various parameters of their effects pedals in real-time. By connecting an expression pedal to your effects unit, you can adjust settings such as volume, modulation, or delay without interrupting your performance.
How Does an Expression Pedal Work?
When connected to an effects pedal, the expression pedal sends control signals that adjust specific parameters. Pressing down with your toe typically increases the effect, while pressing with your heel decreases it. This hands-free control allows for dynamic and expressive performances.
