Moog EP-3 50K linear expression pedal

Steve Merlin 01.03.2021

After a lot of research on pot values and other features, I keep coming back to this expression pedal. I use it for my Moog Minitaur (duh), Novation Peak, EQD Transmisser and Strymon guitar pedals. The value adjustment knob and polarity switch are useful and make it a versatile pedal. The pot value is 50K (linear). By the way, for Yamaha keys and the Neo Ventilator, go for a Yamaha FC-7 because the EP-3 doesn't work for those.
Most of the checking-out I did, started with this list here:
Moog EP-3 feels very solid and the pedal stays in the angle you left it in. The included TRS-cable and -plugs work OK.

Utilitarian

Looking for even more affordable expression pedal than the Roland EV-5 I came to the Moog.

As it's cheaper, it also looks like it, having no thrills plain uniform black plastic for the entire pedal, not even rubber on the pedal. Saying that, it does have a steel plate at the bottom that adds nice weight to it and rubber feet to keep it from sliding around.

Its height resembles more a wah pedal, so it's not as compact as the Roland, but in some situations one might prefer this as it will be on the same level with some other pedals.
Pedal travel is nice and smooth and I like also that you can remove the cable, which is not the case with the Roland.

Good choice if you don't want to pay lots for a pot in a box.

Basic but solid

Sawtooth Enjoyer 30.08.2022

I use this as an extra modulation input for my DeepMind 12, and it has made it much more, err... expressive! It's a pretty basic expression pedal - just a potentiometer, a polarity switch and an adjustment control on the side, but it's solidly built and does what it does very well. The metal baseplate makes it heavy enough that it stays planted on the floor, big enough that you can easily rest your foot on it and there's a good amount of friction - just enough to keep it where you want it. The part that connects the pedal to the potentiometer is metal - one of the reasons I went with this pedal, since on many of the cheaper ones it looks like snappable plastic. There's lots of attention to detail here: the surface of the pedal is slightly rubbery for extra grip.
The adjustment on the side is probably useful for controlling guitar pedals and suchlike, but it's not useful on a synth where you have direct control over the modulation amount anyway. I forgot it was there until I came to write this review.
The best part about this pedal is that you can boast about having a Moog even if you can only afford Behringer synths.

Not fit for my use, but an excellent pedal!

ivoi.iovi 08.01.2021

I had one of these years ago and used it with a Moog Little Phatty S2, the pedal was solid and this recent purchase matched that quality.
I can't fault the pedal itself, but I am returning this one as I find that for use as an expression controller for guitar pedals (my intended use this time) it is a little uncomfortable due to the height from the ground. When sitting with the synth I didn't notice, but when standing to play guitar it just feels a little off to me.
I guess I just prefer flatter expression pedals which allow my foot to stay closer to the ground, it's a totally subjective thing and I think many people would actually prefer this extra height and certainly the more solid feel.
