Question Groove Regulator Expression Pedal??

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm sure many people have seen and are familiar with the technique used in this video by Jonathan Herrera:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKXlqgHxOjY


My question is would you be able to apply the same concept with the use of an expression pedal?

My original thought would be the use of a volume pedal and possibly another pedal to produce white noise (feed back pedal thingo?).

signal chain:

Feed Back Pedal
->Volume Pedal
-> GR Input
Bass
-> GR Return


This is only out of interest but do you think it would work?

Does an expression really provice input to the envelope gate?

well thats why i thought you would need a source of sound (feedback box) and then the volume pedal to create the dynamics for the filter to open and close.

I donno, but when the gurus answer they will have the answer weather or not the Groove Regulator can be used with an expression pedal with the use of the FX loops. I don't know if this is the way but im sure there would be something you could do to achieve it.

Should work so long as whatever your source is puts out enough volume to trigger the filter.

I don't think it will act exactly like a wah, but it should be similar.

When I'm not gigging, I can piss away vast amounts of time toying with the effects loop on my Qtron+. Good times.

Any examples of such feedback boxes? seems like fun to me... I once connected our vocalist's second microphone (both are next to each other, so both pick up his singing) to my groove regulator's envelope gate...

Hilarious effect, the envelope kicking in corresponding his singing.

Sequencer + sound module, drum machine or MP3 player in conjunction with a volume pedal.

Why don't you just split the bass signal and have one side run through the volume pedal into the key input? I ran a volume pedal before an FX25 once and got pretty close to a wah feel.

except the FX25 doesn't have a key input.... How did you do this though? Curious to try it to mine. literally just plugged Bass->Volume Pedal -> FX25??

Wow, I never thought of this before but it should work. The Groove Regulator doesn't need that much of an input signal so anything that can generate a sine wave or other noise should be fine. I've gotta try this!

The pedal seems interesting but the guy talks to much I think.
