RE: Technical knowledge needed please.

Yeah, that is kind of funny. "Tone deaf musicians everywhere can now
experience the thrill of knowing what notes they are playing by seeing
by seeing written them written on the screen" is the next logical step.
Oh wait, isn't that called guitar pro?  ;)

I just thought it looked kind of cool and would save me having to have
the rack in direct view. 
I was reading some of the FAQ's on LD and it said the EV-5 would work
too, but in reverse. Not sure exactly what that means, do I understand
correctly that this would mean toe down to replace and toe up for
infinite feedback? That actually seems more natural to me.

Anyway, thank you for the help Andy.

"Don't just try to find the right volume by ear, see it with the 0-10
LED readout!
Brilliant! Musicians everywhere now can simply look down to see where
their volume level is."

...well, I thought it was funny :-)


You'd have to use it in "passive mode", don't know how well it would
work though, there's no spec available, but likely it's a regular 
guitar swell pedal in that mode. 

The EDP needs a low impedance vol control like the Boss FV-50L
(the "L" is for "low impedance"). 
That's a line level controller, and a regular guitar swell pedal
has high impedance.

Don't forget that the EDP displays feedback value when you set it.

I'd advise get a cheap FV-50L equivalent (Bespeco?).
