Issues with the Lehle Dual Expression//The perfect expression pedal to match the QC

Hi there! I’ve been using the Lehle Dual Expression for a while with the QC and I’m not able to get what I want from it. I set the Exp 1 to the bypass, on the Switch mode with the Latch emulation on. I would like to use it as a wah pedal and as a volume pedal. In this mode, you get to shift from the wah to the volume through the switch. To this point everything is fine, however, the Dual Expression from Lehle has a magnetic sensor as a switch instead of a mechanical one, which makes me unvoluntarily shift the FX when I reach the maximum range. I wanted to know:

1-If there’s any Lehle Dual Expression and QC user who has faced this issue, how has he/she managed to solve it.
2-If I don’t find a better solution I might be changing my Lehle Dual Expression for another expression pedal with a mechanical switch. Which one have you found to work the best with the QC?

Thank you very much!

As you’re wanting to switch and not use them together, why not use scenes? I use a Lehle exp and I put the Mono Volume pedal before the QC too.

I don’t know if anything else is as ‘high-quality’ as the Lehle, it’s pretty top-notch;

The Mission Engineering pedal w/ switch is very sturdy and works great for toggling by switch, if you don’t mind passing thru the full throw of the pedal to reach the switch. Sometimes that can be a little weird, depending on what you’re turning off/on. It’s very nice, but very BIG- can be a challenge to configure on a board.

I’m also using an Ampero Hotone Press II; it’s compact, fairly cheap, but sturdy enough. The footprint/size is much more appropriate for the QC.

I tried to set the bypass in a particular scene but it didn’t work for some reason, I don’t know if it’s because I already had the bypass linked with the switch and this route is considered more imperative (?). Anyways, even if I end up making it work, I like the idea of being able to change the expression pedal function in every scene independently. I mean, for example, I’d like to be able to use both wah and volume pedal in scene A. Thank you very much btw!

Thank you very much! I already listed the Hotone Press II as a potential option as well.

You can assign the On/Off of indvidual blocks to scenes and have the pedal control as many things as you want in the overall preset. Just switch off the blocks you’re not using per scene, or leave them as stomps in one row and have scenes in the other in hybrid mode

For my money and my brain I tend to use two “cheap” expression pedals on the floor next to it. Simplifies things and I would imagine two of these moog expression pedals would be cheaper than most dual function pedals. I’ve used them for about two years and they have been solid. (However they are made of plastic)

The thing here is that, at least with the Lehle Dual Expression, you need to plug two TRS cables: Output 1 to EXP 1, and Output 2 to EXP 2 (this way, EXP 1 is routed to Bypass and EXP 2 to the parameter I want to modify). Do these simpler expression pedals work fine with the QC throught only one TRS cable each? Thank you!

And…in this case, how would you route them?

Yep sure do. Each pedal has a TRS cable to exp 1 or two. I use one pedal to control delay mix level. And another to usually do volume pedal duty. But you can assign this per preset. Some some presets I have it do Wah or whammy. I think it’s more flexible
