An expression pedal converts foot movement into a control signal rather than processing audio directly. It can sweep parameters such as delay time, modulation depth, pitch or volume on compatible equipment. Potentiometer value, wiring polarity, connector type and minimum-range controls must match the receiving device; some models provide multiple outputs or programmable MIDI control instead of a passive resistance.

Accepts a variable control signal from an external expression pedal. It assigns foot movement to a parameter such as delay time, pitch, mix or modulation depth; connector wiring, polarity, resistance range and assignability must match the controlling pedal.
Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.
