Which 'micro' expression pedal...

What I really want is the DOD mini expression pedal.
It seems however that these are no longer being made.
Now I am on teh lookout for an alternative.

Any input very much appreciated!

:)
 
I had a DOD but I was not able to use it the way I wanted. The screws in the bottom prevented me from attaching it to a pedalboard. There was a lot of rubber padding on the bottom which had to be removed, and then the biggest screw protruding out from the bottom could not be removed because it is vital to the assembly of the pedal. A major flaw in an otherwise solid and well-made product.

I’ve got a Classic Audio Effects Expression Roller G2, which also is apparently not being made anymore. It uses a normal effects pedal format. It is awesome, and exactly what you’re looking for, if you can find one. I use it with a Mission Expressionator which lets me control all the parameters and switching for my three pedals that have expression inputs.

Dunlop DVP4 and the Hotone Bass Press. Both work great, the bass press has a slightly shorter action and side jacks. Both don't need power for EXP. Hotone does more with power (wah and volume). DVP4 can be exp and volume at the same time, so with a bit of clever switching you can use it for both.
 
I have the Hotone Soul Press II... independent expression, but it also has a dual tone wah and volume section. You can run the volume and wah separately, or integrate them. The expression, as stated, works on its own.
