Hi all, new user and first post. A friend of mine was saying that any standard volume pedal can be used as an expression pedal when a TRS-Y cable is plugged into the input and output jacks of the volume pedal, since the volume pedal is basically a voltage sweep that is sent to the output. So my questions are:
1. Can this be done with the Ernie Ball VPJR Tuner pedal (assuming the TRS polarity is correct) into the Mastermind GT16?
Here are the specs from the manual:
Power Input: 5.5mm OD, 2.1mm Pin Jack, 9v-18v DC, center pin negative, 150 Ma minimum
Input & FX Return: 1/4" Mono Tip Sleeve Jack, 1M Ohm Input Impedance
Output & Effects Send: 1/4" Mono Tip Sleeve Jack, 1M Ohm Input Impedance
This would really be helpful if there's a way to "rig" this to work. I'd use the pedal for expression and run a regular guitar cable to the pedal input for the built in tuner. I'm literally out of room on my pedalboard with no room for even a small tuner, so a built-in tuner/pedal would be perfect.
Cheers,
Matt
