Features:
- Small form factor occupies minimal pedalboard space
- Long-throw treadle for full range of control
- High-quality, high-cycle 25kΩ potentiometer for smooth expressive control
- Impedance switch changes from 25kΩ (top/bottom) to 10kΩ (middle) to accommodate Line 6®-style CC inputs
- Removable rubber feet for pedalboard mounting
- 1/4" jack with selectable TS, TRS, or RTS operation
- Skid-free treadle pad
- Rugged construction
Setup:
- Connect your cables (see connection diagram below).
- Select the correct cable connection setting (TS, TRS, or RTS) for the device you wish to control. (See the owner's manual for the controlled device to determine the proper setting.)
- Push the DOD Mini Expression Pedal's treadle toe down.
- Configure the controlled device for the desired type of expression control.
Connection Diagram
A block diagram illustrates the connection of the DOD Mini Expression Pedal. The pedal features 'In', 'Exp. Out', 'Exp. In', and 'Out' jacks. It is shown connecting to an effects processor unit, which in turn connects to a guitar. The diagram indicates that the pedal's impedance switch can be set to accommodate different input types.
Important Usage Note
The two hex screws on the bottom of the pedal are part of a spring-loaded adjustment mechanism. If over time you experience slop, loosen these screws slightly and then re-tighten. This will cause the main engagement gear to re-tighten against the treadle gear. DO NOT remove these screws or operate the treadle while the screws are loosened. This can cause the gears to become misaligned and cause the pedal to malfunction. There are no user-adjustable components inside the pedal. Under no circumstances should the pedal be opened up.
