Thread Starter | Expression Pedal like a Sustain Pedal Hey GS, Does anybody make an expression pedal that behaves more like a piano sustain pedal than a wah? Like I'd like love to add harmonics into something the smoothly comes back off like a gas pedal or something so I don't have to think so much about the return. Does something like that exist?

| I get a lot of my sustain from Dynacomp at the front end. I get some control over it in a similar way to your desired method by using a volume pedal at the end of the chain. Curious as to whether there is a product that performs as you described.

| Sort of:  This comes pretty close. There is a demo here: I have had one for about 10 years- they aren't made anymore but worth hunting if you like these sorts of sounds.

| The Boss DD-20 Giga delay has a setting where you can hold down the pedal to increase the "feedback" setting - It's really nice for grabbing notes and chords and making them sustain. I'm not sure if it's what you're after but it's worth checking out. |

Thread Starter | It's mostly the action that I'm going for. If any of you have ever played a piano and used it's sustain pedal, you totally know what I mean. The pedal follows your foot back up as you release it, like a gas pedal. It's not just stuck at whatever point it was left last like a wah pedal. Like if there was an expression pedal with a spring response of some kind that would be close. |
