Boss EV-1-WL expression pedal for guitarists and others

[Zipfunk]

des99 helped me with a different expression pedal (m-audio) and he mentioned I should put a review up for it.

I returned that pedal but bought the BOSS EV-1-WL.

It works great as a control surface for Logic's wah pedals, Whammy Pedal, volume, etc.

but what I like it for is I can obviously assign it to any parameter.

For example I assign it to expression on my Hollywood Orchestra strings when I'm using both hand on the piano keyboard instead of 'overdubbing" the expression later.

It has bluetooth connectivity which is good but drops out once in a while. It has printer port usb which is solid.

A lot of expression pedals seemed to have 1/4 inch for midi which didn't help me as my keyboard only accepts sustain pedals (on and off only, not 0-127 midi information)

At $229 CDN it's more expensive than most but it works great. Also expandable to include ON OFF pedals plugging into the side of EV-1-WL

 

BOSS is a great company that's been around forever so I shouldn't be surprised that this piece of gear is great too

Great! Thanks a lot for providing this complete review, very useful for anyone looking for an expression pedal with Logic Pro. 😄

I have one of these MIDI expression pedal adapters. Works great, not expensive. FWIW.
