The EV5 only transmits 0-127 CC data over the toe-down 50% of its travel, leaving a large heel-down zone (the other 50%) with nothing going on. So it instantly loses half it's potential for expression. This makes it tricky to use on two fronts - the travel that produces data is shallow - but I'm sure most musicians will have an inate understanding of how thrown the player is by the fact the data transmiting range isn't spread over the entire travel of the pedal.

This has to be about the least expensive Roland-Boss tool you can buy, yet it does exactly what it is supposed to do and apparently lasts forever. I have had mine for years, have used it with various roland-boss devices, and have never had any problems at all.

I've played morleys, and even an incredible ernie ball pedal made just for keyboards (shoulda grabbed it when I had the chance!) These pedals are cool. I play sitting or standing. When I play standing I these pedals don't last for more then 5 or 6 months. They aren't made to take the rigors of the road like the afroementioned pedal (especially the ernie ball which is made of solid steel!) I hated having to replace these so much. They used to be $**. Now they're over $**! The list price of $** is a gut busting hilarity! NO WAY I'D PAY IT! They should lose the shoddy materials and use better casing. Afterall the technology of these things isn't so advanced!

this pedal was worth the money to make my aw3 auto wah into something I could finally control. Works great on my vocal processors, too. The range setting knob is a great bonus feature.

i love it i use for every thing my LINE6 FBVSB my digitech RP50 my custum stompboxes (i make my own gear as an occupation. more stuff soon. i like the vol.min. knob it lets me set a range between from 0 ohms to 10k ohms and 10k and 10k ohms (thats the values of it)
