The difference between a 10K pot and a 22K pot, from a working perspective,
shouldn't be all that great. I've used 10K and 50K pedals pretty much
interchangeably -- the only result of a mismatched pedal is usually a
slightly non-linear action; i.e, the top end will plateau at 90%, or the
bottom end will crash in the last 10%, something like that.
More likely, you're fooling the auto-sense circuit in the Peavey -- or it's
the pinout issue that I mentioned. Actually, as an engineer, I can't
understand how an auto-sense can work on a "wah" (expression) pedal. On a
sustain pedal, it's easy: Assume that the pedal is not depressed at
startup, and it either looks open or closed at that time; then if it's the
wrong way, compensate. An expression pedal is more complicated: How can
the software determine if the pedal is all the way down, all the way up, or
somewhere in between? I'd be willing to bet that the auto-sense only works
for sustain pedals.
Peavey keyboards are made by Fatar -- at least, the key action is -- and
Fatar used the opposite convention as Yamaha.
