Expression Pedal Indicator

Some kind of visible display for expression pedal position.

I play a lot of touring musical theatre and we often need to have very specific volume levels for certain parts of music.

Is it possible to have a feature that displays a number between. 1-10 for instance linked to expression / volume pedal position. Kind of like the Kenton meter will do on midi pedals.

I use the expression pedal a lot. I’m not sure NDSP ever considers about this feature, but it would be awesome with the next update.

If I see the exact % position of the expression pedal on the screen I would be more confident on stage. Maybe it doesn’t have anything to do with whammy or wah, but I control reverb and delay mixes, octave effects etc.

This is actually a great idea!

I use both jacks all the time, controlling reverbs, delays, tremolo speed and a filter.

I’m playing devils advocate here, but can’t a person just hear where the pedal is at?

I’m not saying this isn’t a good suggestion, just curious.

Well thread is two years old but I’ll just add in I use a Hotone Soul Press 2 and it has indicator lights on the side. 4 lights to indicate position. Might not be fine tuned enough for you King but it is a good pedal too. I use as a Wah/Vol but you can also use as an expression pedal.

For sure everybody can hear the difference. It’s just ease of use imho, seeing the % is better instead of putting a position by heart and by ears. When I use the reverb mix and want to add so few % of reverb it’s being not easy as it seems the very first 2-3% of the expression range is still useless and doesn’t engage the effect.

I admit it’s not a killer feature, just would be nice to see it on the touch screen always on :slight_smile:

That makes perfect sense.

Yes totally, I came on to suggest this! It seems a bit of a niche application on the face of it but it’s massively useful, particularly where you described.

Wouldn’t be a bad add on for that market too, I don’t think any of the other units people use have that, always end up rigging a Kenton….

Bump to the top, as this is still badly needed.

Same here, I would be happy to see such feature to be added.

Another variation of this could be the green arch that can be seen when assigned.


Except, place it either inside or outside the block it’s assigned to.
