Hi,

Does anyone have experience of using Boss FV-500l vol/exp pedal as an expression pedal with the Mustang Floor? I need a volume pedal at the end of the chain (I'm using a Boss RC2 looper between M Floor and amp - can't put it in the insert loop of Floor since it's fixed to be placed at front of chain!) and it would be good to use the Boss volume pedal at the end of the chain + have the option of using it of using it as expression pedal when not using the looper, rather than buying an exp-1 as well.

Thanks for any info.

It sounds, from your description, as though the Boss pedal can function as a stand-alone volume pedal. That will certainly work with your M-Floor as you describe. I'm not exactly sure what you're thinking of when you say you want to use it as an expression pedal - can you elaborate? But if you mean you want it to control the M-Floor effects, then it's very unlikely this will be possible. You will need the exp-1 to do this.

The exp-1 pedal is specific to the Mustang Amps/Floor. It controls one parameter, of one effect, at a time. You can choose which parameter/effect. It uses a proprietary protocol (ie the signals sent on the cable between amp and pedal); it isn't just a simple rheostat. Thus no other pedal, that I'm aware of, can control the Mustang effects parameters in this way.
