CHEAPEST Volume/Expression Pedal on Amazon - Sonicake Vexpress Demo/Review

In this video we are checking out the cheapest and smallest volume/expression pedal I could find on Amazon. This is the VExpress by Sonicake. This thing works really well, especially for the price, and it's very small so it won't take up much room on your board. It also is completely passive and doesn't need any batteries or power to work (although there is an active version as well)

Old vid I know but thanks for posting this. Shows that the thing works as a wah control with a modeler just fine (and gave me hope to keep fiddling with my modeler until I got it to work as it should). Many people diss this thing but they apparently don’t know how to calibrate it/set it up in the software.

I have been using this for over a year with my Fractal AX8. Has worked flawlessly.

To clarify something: On Helix Floor unit, you can use either a TS or TRS cable, but you will need to open the Exp Pedal up, and lift the 'Ring' portion of the output jack. This will eliminate the silly 0-100-0 sweep thing it will do otherwise. This would be true with most all Exp pedals I believe.

Here I am watching the video to double check if I hooked it up right to use it as a 2nd expression pedal to control a volume Block in Helix, but then you reminded me it can function as a standalone volume pedal. Thanks again!

[felipeignacio]

Great stuff, nicely edited, subscribed.

[Matiasss]

I have both and they are good pedals. I use the active one as wah pedal.

[ken]

Very nice, to-the-point, review. Thanks.

[manson]

I run it with a Spark 40, and a Fender Mustang V2. The wah works great both as a wah, or as a volume pedal.

[SONICAKE]

Hey Scott, thanks for sharing the Vexpress and Merry Christmas!

[manson]

I have the active and i love it. Great video

[yamisoul-detodounpocomasom]

Does it work like a whammy if I use it with an octaver pedal?

[pabcrane]

Thanks for the clear and concise video.

I have one question however: the M-audio ex-p pedal sort of works with the Line 6 M5 - it limits the range of wahs and volume only going up to say 90% of maximum, i just wanted to check that the Sonicake worked using the whole range 0-100% with your Helix?

[emanuelmendoza]

A five inch pedal ? Idk sounds like a decently sized pedal if u asked me. Average even… right?😣

[shawnmarko]

Trying to use two of these as Exp 1 and 2. I made a trs to ts & rs Y cable and am getting weirdness like two values changing, etc. With only pedal and a stright trs cable no prob. I believe I have to use trs plugs all around and just wire the pedal ends ts & rs.

Is this pedal ideal for controlling the volume of the Boss Rc 505 MK2 loop station?

[daleburkett]

Found one on Ebay new in the box made offer 25 total free shipping

[erasmodavila]

Hi, good video!!! I have a question, do you think it work with m vave chocolate bt controller? Using it on the positive grid

[TuGinecologo]

Hi, did you use a TRS cable with the HX Stomp? Thanks.

[rudiantomccartney]

Hello Sir ! Mine is having little bit trouble or maybe do you have some advice for me to do..i run into HXFX..i used it for wah..when i push the expression all the way up which is under 6% showing on the paratameter the block will be off, and on again in above of 6%..need controled it softly and carefully to make it the block always on..

[Sharon_Raye_Equal]
