Hi mbwc14,

The manual specifies: "you should use a stereo cable (TRS). Please note that the pedal must have a stereo output jack. The resistance range of the Control Pedal should be 10kOhm to 50kOhm."

Make sure that your Line 6 pedal's specs will fill this bill before spending money on it.

Just to clarify... the Line 6 M9 is not an expression pedal, but a multi effects unit. Sure you can use that, with your synth but maybe there are way cheaper things than that.
The Zoom MS70CDR or the MS100BT look good and very compact, but I have not heard any comments about how good/bad they are.

You would need to chain them together in line like this:

Nord Lead 2x Output ---> [TS9 Input........TS9 Output] ---> [Line 6 Input........Line 6 Output] ---> amplification/mixer/interface/whatever

Or:

Nord Lead 2x Output --->[Line 6 Input........Line 6 Output] ---> [TS9 Input........TS9 Output] ---> amplification/mixer/interface/whatever


The first way is the probably best way for normal use.


On the Line 6 use the Input and Output sockets marked L(MONO)

:) My NL2X also says "nl2" at power up! It's normal, and OK. Hard to show an "X" on that type of display ...
