Used as an expression pedal with a Julianna Walrus chorus.
I really like the ability to set the minimum value.
It is both light and solid! I already used it years ago with Roland synthesizers.

Do the job! It's just a pot in the form of a plastic pedal so the slightly high price is surely justified by the brand..? In any case it holds up, I have had one for years, still functional
