Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Re: volume pedal?

 

I use the Ernie Ball 25K ohm pedal with the MK-VI output jack. I just tested it with the volume pedal jack. It worked well with a 1/4" TRS plug (stereo) cable connected to the pedal output. It DID NOT work with a TS plug (mono) cable.

I would guess that the M400 volume pedal jack needs a tip / ring / sleeve plug too. The Yamaha FC7 has a TRS plug doesn't it?

I don't notice any difference in the sound quality whether the pedal is used on the output or with the pedal jack.
