Yes I know I'm about 6 years out of date!, but I'm looking for an expression pedal that works well with a Line 6 M5 and the Line 6 one looks rubbish.

Any first hand experience?

Cheers

    Boss fv500l. Built like a tank and works. Just set the minimum volume knob to maximum and voila.

    I've been using it since I got the m5.

    its a rebadged Bespeco isnt it?
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Proper expensive for a pot in a box though. The boss is pushing it cost wise...

    I got the boss so it would be a volume pedal too. If I could go again I'd get the line 6.

    Thanks all, I think I'll give the Line 6 one a try, it's only going to get occasional use anyhow so don't want to spend too much. The mission looks good but it costs more than I bought the M5 for!

    Get a used Mission.....I got one here. They do come up from time to time. Not cheap I admit, but buy well - buy once.

    Can anyone tell, please, will an M_Audio EX-P expression pedal work well with the Line 6 M-series multi-fx units?
