MOTM

I know similar issues have been discussed previously,
but I am wondering what people's current suggestions
are for pedals to connect to the '850.

Thanks!

Thanks Larry!

How is the breath controller mod coming along?  Which
breath controllers are still available for sale?

I have seen a couple of bad reviews of the MO0G pedal.
 Has anyone else tried it?  Does it actually output a
CV?  Are there any CV out pedals available?  Or that
were ever available?

Cheers!
Shemp

If you want nice rubber coated long-throw that is adjustable from seated to
standing - Yamaha FC-7 gets my vote.
If you want a cheap piece of crap short-throw plastic jobbies, get the
Roland EV-5.

Having shown my obvious bias, I did find that for snapping across the entire
pot range a wah-wah type speed, the Roland was less tiresome to use.  But
for swells and anything that requires a bit of touch (like volume control in
a live performance), the FC-7 is it for me.

While the 850 can work with a variety of pedals, there were the two selected
as most popular, and the resistors were sized for optimal operation on these
size pots.

Sure, I use a old Moog 1120 CV pedal with my MOTM.  They pop up on Ebay 
once in a while.

I think Larry is being a bit harsh towards the EV-5. I bought a FC-7 on Larry's 
suggestion (I already have two EV-5's). It's a nice pedal, heavy contruction, 
and costs about $15 less than the EV-5.  But I too find it a bit tiresome to 
use since it really pushes your ankle to its full extremes.  It's also almost 
too big.  Perhaps you should ask yourself if you're planning on using the pedal 
with other devices also.  If so, I'd go with the EV-5 because it has a scaling 
pot and I'm thinking probably also a more standard connection.  If you're only 
going to use it with the 850, then the FC-7 is nice if you don't mind the 
amount of foot motion to use it.
