Mission Engineering EP-1 Expression Pedal - Black Reviews

Built like a tank, with a variety of features for your needs.
In a familiar, standard footprint that fits on your pedalboard efficiently.
I've been using these pedals for years on 100's of shows trouble free, which is why i bought 2 more for a new board i put together.
Top of the class, built to last.

Works great with all my guitar related plugins. Neural DSP and Line 6 Helix native. Looking to buy a SP 1 next to go with it as I had to use a work around in Helix native for the Wah and would like to control it as a normal Wah in all programs.

Easy to connect, 1 cable, works great.

I was in need of an Expression Pedal that would work for my recent Morningstar MC6-Pro build …
No knock on Source Audio intended but their 50k pots just don't perform well in this case…
The EP-1's 10k Pot is perfect !!
The pleasant surprise was that I was able to move the input jack to the right side of the pedal where I needed it..
Well built, Sturdy, Works !!

Very well made! Mission Engineering provides great solutions to make many types of equipment work together.

Bought two of these to pair with a Ground Control Pro and an AxeFX II. These are built extremely well and feel great to use. They have an excellent throw - I"ve played with a Dunlop 535Q for ten years and these have the exact same throw and feel to them. It felt very comfortable and familiar.

Using them with the AxeFX was seamless. Can"t recommend them enough.

Built strong

Mission Engineering's EP-1, 10k TRS expression pedal is definitely the one you want to replace those overpriced cheesy plastic versions from Roland and Leslie that really aren't designed to last very long under heavy foot traffic. Mission pedals can take all the stomping and dancing that you can dish out, and will quite likely last forever. It's even got a pedal tension adjustment allen screw so it'll stay where you put it, yet be still be controllable as light as a feather under your foot. This pedal's control pot wiper is connected to the tip of the stereo jack, so yes, it'll work with gear that expects a 10k expression pedal through a regular old 2 conductor cable. Excellent rigs are built with excellent gear that you can rely on, like this EP-1.

Not too much to say except that it is heavy enough to not have to chase it around , tight amd smooth contol , and overall perfect

I chose this exp pedal based on some friends' recommendation for a good "old type wah pedal"
I use it with my Fractal AxeFX XL guitar processor, and it's the best chice I could have made.
Strong, sturdy - it's the kind of pedal that outlives you by 100 years.
I finally got the best of my wah effect, the "lenght" of the move it's just perfect (I kept though alse the Fractal pedal, which I am going to use from now on as a volume/othe Fx pedal.

Now I'm sorry I did't get the Mission SP1, I could have used the switch... snif!

Give it a try, you'll never settle for less.

The is a very well constructed pedal. It is all metal and heavy; so, it stays in place. The action is smooth and it provides a smooth variation to your effects. It may be a little pricey, but you get the performance and quality you would expect.

I"ve been playing for 40 years, give or take, and until I bought this expression pedal I had never used one. I"ve owned many wah wah pedals over the years. I only mention this because it gives me a reverence point with regard to the construction. This pedal is solid, it stays put in any position it is set at and the toe to heel sweep is smooth as silk. I also love that Mission Engineering pedals are American made. It"s a quality pedal that should last years at a very affordable price.

Very well made, should have bought one years ago. Comes in handy on many of my Strymon effects and it's a must have, in my opinion, for use with my Dry Bell Vibe Machine!

These Mission Engineering pedals are built like Sherman Tanks - I think it would be almost impossible to ever break it. The sweep is a teensy bit shallow, kinda sorta like a bog standard Dunlop CryBaby wah pedal. I know for a fact that Mission uses really high quality pots in their pedals. Not only does this unit work really well for guitar FX, but it pairs up with NI Komplete Kontrol A-series keyboards and the *sometimes finicky Arturia KeyLab MK2 keyboards. I wrote a full, detailed review of the Mission Engineering EP-1 on Reviewer's Revival.

Tagging this with the Earthquaker Astral Destiny Reverb pedal opens new sonic landscapes where the sound can be the major wash or dialed way back so there is just a hint of mystery. Lots of creativity added to the palette given the simplicity of the pedal's continuous variable mixed with the multitude of settings on the Astral. I have not made it to the Ravi Sitar yet!

Its a great pedal. I've been using it for a couple of years and its held up well with very little need for adjustment. I actually have two of these pedals and they are built like tanks. I've found that they are great for controlling analog pedals but unfortunately not so great for controlling digital pedals. I have a nice arrpegiator but neither of my two EP-1 pedals will go all the way to zero or to 128 keeping me from reaching perfect pitch on either end of my preset. I would say that for midi settings this pedal will only sweep from 8 to 120 and not let me use the full potential of my pedal. Something to keep in mind if you plan on using this on a digital pedal or for blending signals wet/dry. I do have two of these pedals and they both respond the same way.
