hye!

the shop recommended me to buy the boss fv 50L control pedal (not the 500!!)
i cant figure out how to use this pedal to control organ volume and/or use as a wahwah (and other effects) control pedal... *desperate*
I've got a gig coming up in 2 weeks, have to get this thing working, help me out!

Won't work, wrong pedal. The FV-500L is the one you want.

Also worth looking at the Yamaha FV-7. I've had both, prefer the Yamaha as it has a much longer amount of pedal movement, better for accurate control.

I have a Boss FV50-L for controlling the audio signal of my entire mix (left, right)

I have a Roland EV-5 pedal for everything else (wah, fx depth, midi volume etc)

The FV50-L only works as an audio volume pedal if it's connected AFTER the Electro's output, it won't work as a Control pedal for the Electro when connected to the Control pedal input, which is what he is asking about.

Aight, not the answer i wanted but thanks for helping me out!
Can someone send me a picture of his/her configuration how to set up the pedal to make it work?
I'd like to use it as wah/chor/... effects function and if possible as volume as well, or do i have to get a second pedal for that?
@dhbp-nord, i guess this is where you come in?

I found on the website that i should use one of these (cant find the EV-5?!)
CONTROL PEDALS
Control Pedal support has been improved and now supports the following pedals: Fatar, Yamaha FC7, Roland EV-7, Korg EXP2 and Korg XVP10.

Which one is best?

[RedLeo]

Don't worry about the Roland EV-5, they're quite cheaply built and some people consider them to be unreliable (including me). But - they're not really any cheaper to buy.

Overall the most popular seem to be the Roland EV-5, the Boss FV-500L and the Yamaha FC-7. I've had all of these and I would say the Yamaha FC-7 is the best - it's pretty much an industry standard. I'm sorry, I haven't any experience of the rest.

You can use that pedal also, just use an insert cable (Y-cable with one TRS and two TS), TRS to control pedal input and one TS to Input 1 and the other TS to Output 1 on your pedal. If it works "backwards", just switch the TS plugs around (input 1 to output 1 and vice versa).

Thx for all the responses!!
I might just get a FC-7 so i get the two functions at once :p

I actually have that pedal also,,,, the input / output is exactly that... the output from you keys would go into it and the output to your amp... but... the suggestions for the Yamaha is correct .. that is what you want.. this is only a volume pedal.. I use it on my Midi Sync to control strings or whatever coming out of my midi... but you really should look at the Yamaha pedal... I just got it and it's the correct one for the nord control input
