Ultra-rugged Expression Pedal for Your Pedals and Synths

The Moog EP-3 is the expression pedal you've been looking for. It's built like a tank and works with any synthesizer or effects pedal you can find. Seriously, what else do you look for in an expression pedal? You can fine-tune the EP-3 with an external level adjustment, giving you full control over how it interacts with your gear. It's the perfect expression pedal for Moog's moogerfooger effects pedals, and really anything else with an expression input. The 1/4" output works with any typical TRS cable, and it even comes with a six-foot cable ready to go. An innovative cam mechanism ensures smooth performance every time you perform with the Moog EP-3 expression pedal.

Whether it's a synthesizer, effects processor, or even a simple control device, you can count on Moog gear for maximum reliability and performance.

Great value

I have owned this expression pedal 3 times now. I keep coming back because it continues to win out on value. Solid build. Never had a performance issue. My only negative (-1/2 star) is that it is big. I would pay $20 more if it was 3/4 size. Nonetheless, it does the job for my POD GO extension rig.

Saved my butt!

I haven't had an expression pedal in a long time! I'm not hip to the throw and range stuff that are so important to others. My research consisted of which one wasn't too expensive that was also available. I needed it ASAP. This one is working great for me. So far, I've only used it as a volume pedal though. I was playing a show with lots of Hammond (using B-3X from IK Multimedia through GigPerformer). Lots of dynamics! In the rehearsals I was just using knobs but that was tough to play when both your hands are busy with playing (as you might imagine).

This pedal allows me to have zero sound with it all the way down to full volume. There was plenty of range in there so I could play from pp to ff.

Great Pedal

I purchased the EHX Cockfight and was doing research on what EP to go with it and the Moog EP-3 kept getting the best reviews on the Sweet Water forum. This is for good reason. The pedal is a super high quality build, very solid with a nice thick gum rubber texture. It's the perfect size and has a very smooth and wide sweep forward and back, letting you get the maximum tonal range. Using it with the Cockfight, lets me find the sweet spot for making vowel sounds with the talking mode on and the full range of sweep makes it sound like a real talk box. I love this pedal and highly recommend it as it will be the only expression pedal I ever buy in the future. A BIG THANKS to Andrew, my Sales Engineer who's always a big help and a pleasure to talk to.

Better than Boss, very linear

I bought this pedal because it was recommended by Expressive E for use with the Osmose. I had previously tried the Boss EV-30, which is well-made, but not linear or stable enough to play nicely with Osmose. The EP-3 is bigger than it looks in the pictures, which is I prefer, and it's heavy and stays put while I'm playing. It's cable is also objectively higher-quality than what Boss ships. The Moog also has no dead spots and a somewhat longer travel, making it very... expressive, which is the point right?

I just bought a second one for use with thd 2nd Osmose expression input.

All Expression Pedals Should have These Controls

The best features on the EP-3, for me, are the polarity switch and the level adjustment. I wasted a lot of time trying to use a "Hex" expression pedal for my keyboard controller before figuring out that it had the wrong polarity. You have to re-solder a TRS cable to change it. What a pain! Then I found out that it didn't allow the full range (0-101 instead of 0-127) because it used a poor quality potentiometer. As a last resort, I hooked up the EP-3 that was controlling my rarely used MoogerFoogers, and after tweaking the level adjustment, it worked perfectly. Maybe the EP-3 isn't perfect for all applications or all users, but for me it's simply great! (Altho I may need another EP-3 to go with the MF's now)

Want real Moog sound? Take it from the die-hard analog synth masters here at Sweetwater: buy a Moog. It doesn't matter which one; their synths start at top quality and only go up from there. Sweetwater's relationship with Moog goes way back, and some of us fondly remember the last time Bob himself came to visit. Over the years, we've had the honor of watching Moog grow and evolve, and with synthesis experts like Daniel Fisher on staff, we're still one of the first companies to catch wind of new Moog products - they never fail to impress! Whether it's a classic reissue, a breakthrough new keyboard, or even a cool effects pedal, you can be sure anything you get from Moog will make you happy, and we'd love to tell you all about it.
