[A6] Volume Pedal for A6?

[Joan Touzet]

Ack, you're right! I just tried it out, and the A6 definitely is *not*
happy with a TRS (stereo) 1/4" volume pedal. I guess I've always used
the TS (mono) 1/4" type instead, or controlled volume from my K2500
(which does use a TRS type).

In that case, the Moog pedal won't work with it.  :(

The Yamaha FC7 should work, as would the Rolands or the  - though none
of these are really very well built (I tend to abuse my volume pedals
a fair bit, being trained as an organ player before being a
synthesizer player!)

The Alesis F2 seems like it should work, as it advertises
compatibility with Yamaha gear. It also looks to have a good build
quality.  Unfortunately I can't find a manual for this online
anywhere, not even at Alesis' site! Anyone on the list have one?

What are other folks using for expression pedals?
