Moog ep2 cause it's what works with EI and was cheap. I use it a lot and it seems to be holding up ok.

You need to make sure the expression you purchase works with the gear you are trying to pair it with. They don't all just naturally work well with each other due to difference in the pot values in the expressions, TS vs TRS connections, etc.

Been using this same pedal with my Source Audio Multiwave. I like that I can set the mix/sweep amount with a knob on the side. Seems pretty solid so far.

Recently I switched from a traditional expression pedal to a small knob based one called "the Nose" off of ebay.

I'm surprised that I'm very happy with it in combination with the small blend pedal. Surprisingly easy to control... if you have enough equilibrium to balance for a couple seconds on one leg...

I use a PROEL exp pedal cause it was $15.

I think it's a stripped down budget pedal made by Baspeco. Works fine with my MoogerFooger (it's a TRS pedal). And is still working after about a year and a half of use.

Mission Pedals SP2

It works for me as its a 2 channel foot switchable expression in a std wah style enclosure that allows me to switch between controlling paramaters on at least 2 different effect pedals

A Roland EV-5 with my M9 because my local GC had it in stock when I went shopping.

Right now I've got an EB VP-jr modded by Taylor at Iron Ether for expression pedal use. I had one previously that was modded by Mario at Robot Factory. It's a great expression pedal. Smooth sweep, adjustable range sturdy housing, and it stays "parked" wherever you leave it which is handy.

I'm really curious about the Mission Pedals SP2 though. How well does it work? How do you switch between pedals and does it ever happen on accident?
