high/low impedance? expression pedals

[skrowl]

i'm looking for a "good" quality Expression pedal to go with an imaginary "Eventide Mod Factor" (I'm planning ahead)
I keep getting confronted with High impedance and low impedance? i dont even really understand what that meens!?!

any help would be awesome

Impedance is usually only a concern in relation to volume pedals, not expression pedals. I suggest you see what Eventide recommend in the manual and find something to suit.

oh woops,
i forgot to mention i was looking for a dual function vol/exp so i could use it as a vol when not hooked up to the modfactor?

Hope this answers your question, If not Eventide has forums...

From the Eventide site
Which Expression Pedals are supported?
Our Stompboxes will work with any Expression Pedal that is a simple resistive load (potentiometer) with a max value of 25kOhms. For the best performance we recommend the Ernie Ball VP Jr. 25k. Connect the Output to the Eventide Stompbox Expression Pedal Input. We have also had success with the M-Audio MGear EX.P Expression Pedal.

Why can't I get my Expression Pedal to work right?
If your Expression Pedal has a trim pot control, try adjusting it to either end of its range. If your Expression Pedal causes parameter values to go from min to max and back down to min again as you move from toe to heel, try connecting it using a stereo phone cable rather than a mono cable.
