Hi Guys 'n Girls need some quick help............

I've been not using my Nord Electro 3 for a longer time now, and I've been buying an expression Pedal BESPECO on ebay, and after connected it with the

instrument that dammed thing works ONLY vice versa, that means pressing forward, volume becomes lower, and pushing it backwards volume becomes

louder,...polarity ?

I've been looking into the manual, but I'm becoming nearly crazy, 'cause I cannot find any instructions anywhere how to change..............

Is there now s.o. out there to tell me quickly what f***ing button(s) I've to press to change function in may desirerd pattern........

Every quick help is appreciated......

Thjank you in advance,

Christian

There is no evidence that any control pedal will work as expected on a Nord - there is no standard. But your Electro is prepared for different types: Menu "System", setting "Ctrl Pedal Type" - just check the 4 (Electro 3 HP: 5) possibilities.

P.19 in the manual, section Menu, BTW.

I found this on Reverb, and it appears to have a polarity switch, see last picture in listing:
