Yes, the whole pedal is turnable, over about a 70 degree range, on a circular base. The center of the twisting motion is aligned with the leg bone, more or less, so it is possible to adjust the up-down position and left-right position independently, with practice. I play standing up and I've put a lot of weight on it. I am not sure how easy it would be to use with a guitar on your knee! There is a potentiometer in it, in addition to the potentiometer that was already in the pedal for the normal up-down axis. Two TRS jacks, I plug into an old Yamaha MCS2 MIDI fader box. Does the EDP use potentiometer pedals? > >>I have recently been trying to figure out how to add a third axis >>of control without spraining my ankle :-) >> > >I thought about that too.

Or five little tiny toe-pedals... I remember ads for a wah-wah pedal that didn't move, it was a little blob, you stood on it and shifted your weight around. Anyone ever try one of those? -Alex S.
