M-Audio EX-P Expression Pedal

I've been regularly using this for about a year now

I was never happy with this pedal as it has too little resistance to be precisely controlled by one's foot and when you want to leave it a certain setting it's nearly impossible to not crank it this or that way just with lifting your foot off of it.

Yes, it's cheap, but – exactly that.

If you just want to try an expression pedal, it's an acceptable investment – otherwise I suggest you spend more money.

It lasted for about a year of regular use.

Its cheap and it works, but if you are going to be gigging don't expect this one to stand up to it. Mine was OK for about a year then developed faults at one end of the scale.

There's just too much cheap plastic and cheap components inside - but then again, what do you expect for the price? If you are using this in a home studio setting and you are a careful person, probably it will be OK.

I'm now getting a more professional unit from Source Audio.

Possibly, as a cheap solution this is good, but you shouldn’t seriously rely on this pedal, especially on stage.

Had to buy an adapter to convert CV values to midi CC...
