Expression Pedal Idea?

[letsgocoyote]

im sure that could done without alot of trouble.

I would like to see all kinds of interesting alternatives to expression pedals.

Right now I am trying to find the ideal expression solution for my Boss RE-20 Space Echo. Any thoughts?

[dorfmeister]

How about some kind of device that would attach through the expression pedal input that could be midi-synced?

What do you want to do ? Change the parameters of a pedal sitting there?
One parameter? multiples?

There are many many options from the simple pot in a box to Multiple lfos, joy sticks and motion sensors/detectors. This could also be done with lasers and sound detectors, piezo elements, pressure sensors/detectors.
Pretty much any thing that varies a resistance, capacitance or sends out a signal could be uses as the expression control.

there is also touch pad or heat sensitive material.

One could build a combination of touch sensitive/heat sensitive material into a fret board, or guitar body. Of course then you have multi pinned cables and the need for an interface to route the signals where they need to go.

Ok I forgot where I was going with this

Most of the time I'm a set it and leave it player. I've found where each effect sounds best to me and in the music, and leave it there. I do like lots of control when I am setting things up though.

I do need a Bass Murf.

I need just about all of the Moog pedals...

I'd love to see an expression-centric fuzz. Not just so it's the tone, but maybe something where you could switch it around on the fly so that various different areas could be expression-controlled, so the fuzz could become a volume fuzz, or a wah fuzz, or even one where the fuzz sensitivity itself was expression-controlled, so the overall fuzz timbre could be controlled expressively.

Would that be cool? Or has it already been done somewhere, by someone?
