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

Hey,

This is a copy of the mail I sent to @Eolan this morning, since he contacted us via mail as well.
I wrote:

There might be a confusion:
If the 10K socket is in momentary switching mode, the blue LED of the socket flashes blue. If it triggers, you hear a click and for a moment the white LED is also on.

If you calibrate the 10k switch socket you need to do:

  1. Press and hold the 10K soft touch button and reconnect the power supply connector
  2. Release the 10K soft touch button
  3. The blue 10K switch LED and the white 50K TRS LED are flashing alternately
  4. Press the 10K soft touch button
  5. Blue switch LED flashes
  6. Move the pedal rocker to the position you want to trigger the socket. This is the point I press with the hand, as shown in the photo (attached)
  7. The pedal reboots

  1. Then set the 10K socket again to switching mode (blue LED flashes)

Can you confirm?

Btw. our editor is nearly finished and among others things you can calibrate the 10K switch there then. Give us 3-4 weeks.

Thank you for your quick response, Joki. It really helped me get through it.

Getting an editor soon is a great news, too :slight_smile:

I love this expression pedal for everything except the toe-switch behavior.

I’ve tried every suggestion mentioned here (except adding rubber feet, which I’d keep as a last resort), but I still can’t get the toe-switch threshold to respond any differently. Even setting the switch threshold to the hardest value in the Verwalter barely changes anything.

What I expected was simple: light pressure should work for Wah/Volume (or whatever effect), and only a clearly harder press on the toe should trigger the switch. But in practice, the switch fires with the same light pressure I naturally use while playing. It ends up acting more like an auto-trigger at 100% travel than an actual toe-switch.

Is there really no way to make it behave with a clear distinction between light pressure (expression) and hard pressure (switch)?

Or am I really missing something? @LEHLE

Thanks!

Problem solved. More detail here: Lehle Dual Expression + QC: Toe switch activates without pressure. Normal? - #10 by vejin

Thanks again!

I am just wondering… why didn’t you add a better description in the manual? What you are showing might be a game changer for many, but it is impossible to figure out what you really mean from the manual alone… Changing a manual is a breeze… why not to put extra info about it when this is actually the only big concern people have? I do not own the pedal and this was the issue that made me hesitate. Now I am reconsidering.

It would be fantastic, if people actually would read the manuals! /irony off. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

The VERWALTER can set the threshold pretty hard.
There were some cases, where a mixture of user error and the pedal itself created issues and in most cases we were able to solve it.

We are a company with real humans (I think I am one) so you can always contact us, talk to us, ask us, etc.
(The reason I didn’t reply here was, I had a cold, so proof I am a human). :face_with_monocle:

Cheers
