The Roland EV-5 Expression Pedal is a foot pedal designed for use with keyboards, and other expression-compatible devices like guitar pedals. It provides a more dynamic and professional level of control to your performance, enabling real-time adjustments to be made with ease. Whether you play keyboard, synths, or guitar, the level of control afforded by this simple little unit is extraordinary.

The EV-5 is equipped with a 'Minimum Volume' knob on the side of the pedal. This sets the control value sent when the pedal is in the up (back) position, and therefore affects the overall control range of the pedal. The purpose of the knob is to allow you to set two different volume levels, so that you can quickly toggle between the two during a performance: One, the pedal-forward position (maximum volume), and two, the pedal-back position (minimum volume). If the 'Minimum Volume' knob is set fully clockwise, there will be very little difference between the up and down pedal positions. To utilise the full range of the pedal, set the 'Minimum Volume' knob fully counter-clockwise.

Versatile & Compact

As well as being useful for changing levels between songs during a set, or for being able to crank the volume for that all-important solo, the Roland EV-5 Expression Pedal delivers control with grace. Nuances in your music and playing style technique should be given the appreciation and clarity they deserve, which is where the EV-5 comes into its own.

Rugged & Reliable

The simplistic yet rugged design is a mark of the dedication Roland has to every product they create. The hard-wearing unit is built with live performance in mind, which means that it can take just about anything you throw at it during a gig — no matter how enthusiastically you may play. Once you have used the Roland EV-5 Expression Pedal, you won't be able to go back to using the standard volume control!

Brand

Boss

BOSS began in Osaka in 1973 as MEG Electronics, a company dedicated to effects. Its first BOSS-branded effect was the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble in 1976; the OD-1, SP-1 and PH-1 launched the compact-effects series in 1977. The JustPedals catalogue includes familiar overdrives and distortions such as the OD-3, SD-1, BD-2, DS-1 and MT-2 Metal Zone, as well as utility items such as the PCS-20A cable. BOSS now spans compact pedals, multi-effects, loopers, tuners and controllers. Manufacturing origin should be checked by model rather than inferred from the brand’s Japanese history.

Expression Pedals

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.
