Craig - this video is AWESOME. I've been struggling for an hour to figure out how to use the expression pedal with the BigSky...this video did the trick. Thanks!
Sir can you help me? Until now i’m still figuring out on how to connect the ernie ball vp to bigsky to control the decay. I tried you’re tutorial but it didn’t help. I used a trs cable but still not working thank you!.
Great video it helped a lot! I have a quick question, where did you get the led for your volume pedal. And if you could put the link or even make a video on how you did it because it looks really cool. :)
+Jason Kopytin Thanks Jason! The LED is from a mod I had done by Blackeye Effects which installs a buffer into the tuner. Since it's now powered, the LED is there so you can tell that the power is connected. Check out the link: www.blackeyeeffects.bigcartel.com/product/blackeye-modded-ernie-ball-vp
Hi Craig, Thank you for this video! I have a bigsky and a volume pedal then I use a TRS cable to make a volume pedal as an expression pedal but can you use the volume pedal as a volume and a expression pedal at the same time?
Hi, not sure you can help me, but I’m using this pedal with a keyboard. I will have the unit on the top of my keyboard and want to have a separate pedal on the floor to control the hold function for some of the presets. Whether to freeze or Infinite hold. Would I hook it up in the expression pedal slot and how would I get it to recognize the pedal for that function only ? Do I have to use midi somehow ? Just think you might be able to explain it to me, if you know...Thanks either way!
question... when I follow this correctly and choose to set heel and toe to MIX (rather than e.g. Delay) there's no numerical readout for Mix percentage when operating the expression... normal?
Okay thanks but what is that big round knob you were adjusting at the botton of the screen next to the No Se pedal and what does that have to do with your expression pedal?
Had a quick question, can you set the dry/wet mix as one of the parameters controlled by an expression pedal? Meaning while you're playing, are you able to go from a completely dry signal to 100%wet with the pedal? Thanks.
I'll bet it's not possible, as you showed how the setting is lost if there is too big of a change by pressing another of the A, B or C buttons, but, my question is, can you change the 'type' button from say 'Bloom' to 'Cloud' so the expression pedal would move from one to the other reverb type?
+Kenneth Nielsen What I showed when I pressed another button was that I just had not actually saved the preset the first time. It was confusing to me at first which is why I demonstrated the whole process and how it saves the second time. I don't think you can change types with this since but you could always email Strymon to ask. But since there are 3 buttons you can use those to easily switch between presets.
+Craig Allen - This is hopeful then, I will spend some time trying these changes across the three buttons and as well with the types. Either it will work or will not so it will be good to find out...
Craig Allen thanks so much for this precision ; i have both an expression and a volume pedal ; it never works before but i didn't know a volume pedal wouldn't fit :) Thanks again so much
Hi, I have a standard ernie ball volume pedal (not the 25k one) it always works with my space nicely, I can't seem to get it to work with the Big Sky, I plugged in my standard cheep M-audio exp pedal to see if I could get that to work, No luck, any thoughts?, with the Ernie Ball i'm using a standard 1/4" instrument cable, which the eventide space does not seem to mind, -Also, when I unplug the volume from the Big sky, the parameter changes a bit, which makes me think it's saving something. -thnx.

Glad it was helpful!
Very clear and to the point, explained well. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Nice one, beats the Strymon manual hands down. Thanks man.
Awesome, thanks! I was stuck on this too.... the manual isn't very clear about this.
Glad it was helpful!
exactly what i needed right now. thanx craig!
Chris Corrado awesome!
HahA great help 4 me man....I didnt understand Heel/Toe.....now it works
thanks a lot !!!!!(not to find in t. manual) *****
Thanks so much. That was really helpful.
Thanks. Really clear and easy.

Thank you very much for this video. Do you know if one can generally set the ep on and exp decay control for all at once?
I'm not sure.

Hi Craig,

Not sure but I don’t think so.

I'm not sure but if you contact the pedal manufacturer they can probably help.
question... when I follow this correctly and choose to set heel and toe to MIX (rather than e.g. Delay) there's no numerical readout for Mix percentage when operating the expression... normal?
I don't know, sorry.
Excellent.
Thank you! Cheers!
thanks!
Hi, can you recommend an expression pedal to buy…. Cheers
Check out Old Blood Noise Endeavors. They have an Expression Slider and Expression Ramper that are really cool if they fit what you are trying to do.
Okay thanks but what is that big round knob you were adjusting at the botton of the screen next to the No Se pedal and what does that have to do with your expression pedal?
That's the expression pedal
Had a quick question, can you set the dry/wet mix as one of the parameters controlled by an expression pedal? Meaning while you're playing, are you able to go from a completely dry signal to 100%wet with the pedal? Thanks.
+Kvvlt Yes, that is what I've done in the video so you can set the parameters to completely dry/wet.

Tell my why set the decay for big sky to disaster area dmc 4 gen 2 with expresion roller
Beniamin Popa I’ve got the same dmc and haven’t ever gotten mine to work but I need to try it again. Did you figure it out yet?
I don't know.
is it possible to do the same with an volume pedal ??
Not a standard volume pedal, but it would need to be modded to be used as an expression pedal.
Craig Allen thanks so much for this precision ; i have both an expression and a volume pedal ; it never works before but i didn't know a volume pedal wouldn't fit :)
Thanks again so much
thanks a ton.
No problem!

rudewalking Hey, I'd suggest contacting Strymon directly with any specific questions. Their customer service is great!
Ok, thanks.
Way to many steps to jack around with... aint no body got time for all that ! Thanks for the demo thou
No problem 👍
thank you sir.
