    They don't work well as expression pedals due to the rack and pinion not turning the pot through its full travel, from experience.

    If it's a standard 3-wire (TRS jack) expression pedal the stock 100K pot will actually work OK, within that limitation.

    Thanks for feedback - re the travel piece ;  I did see a different gearing option from one company to address this but maybe I'll just buy a cheapie elsewhere ..

    I believe he's using it with a TC flashback, if so you 'teach' the unit the min and max points of the exp travel. 
    So shouldn't be an issue. 

    But it it's a good point for using elsewhere.
