Re: proel volume/expression pedals

[jim palmer <jimp@pobox.com>]

i tried using the ernie ball volume pedal as an expression pedal
but found the log-taper to be unworkable.
i don't think they make a linear-taper version....

on the other hand, i really like the amount of pedal travel,
the ability to set and leave at a particular spot, and the 
nigh-invulnerable construction.  i may yet try to retrofit a
linear-taper pot...
