From the MOTM-850 user guide:
The MOTM-850 can interface to 2 basic types of pedals: resistive and
voltage-out. Resistive pedals use a 3-conductor (stereo) plug, because 3
signals are needed: ground, voltage IN and voltage OUT. CV Out pedals use a
2-conductor plug (mono) and only needs ground and CV OUT.
The pedals we will use as examples for 'resistive' types are the Roland EV-5
and the Yamaha FC7/FC9 series. They are probably others, but these two cover
the kinds you are likely to use.
