[A6] Volume Pedal for A6?

Mon Aug 27 19:57:49 PDT 2007

The Andromeda can reverse the polarity of the footswitch input according to the manual, so I think it can work.  The yamaha has some kind of accent function included, and is billed as heavy duty, so it seems to be a winner.  Damn, it has a TRS plug.

So is the Alesis F2, which seems odd, but it lets you supply your own cable, so maybe you can use a mono cable.

Still seems kinda weak now, as the volume pedal part is just mono.  Yamaha has a Dual expression pedal that allows two input volume control or one volume and one cv following the same pedal.

Damn, I guess the rolands are the only mono one's I've seen so far.
