Hi Guys,

I'm Peter from Munich/Germany.

I'm having a problem with my Expression Pedals. I'm using Rocktron's HEX Pedals.... one for Volume.... one for the Wah Effect.

The Volume Pedal works fine... okay the HEX changes the Value 0-127 alway on its own. The Adjustment of the Screw on the Pedal wont help...
The Wah Pedal wont work very fine.... you can change the Controller Value, but it does not sound like a real Wah Sound... like a Cry Baby.

Also both Pedals effect eachother......

Do you have any Idea where the Promblem might be?

I'm using normal Stereo Cables which I bought at my Guitar Store. Just simple Stereo Cables with Neutric .

THX for your FEEDBACK and INPUT

Any time one expression pedal affects the other expression pedal on a Ground Control Pro it means that one, or both, of the pedals are connected backwards. If you swap the Tip and the Ring connection at one end of the stereo cable or within the HEX pedal, this should fix the problems.

Good Luck!

I am having the same problem with my hex pedals "talking" to each other through the ground control, i noticed that the manual calls for "RTS" cables and i have "TRS". is there a difference? how would i go about swapping the connections that you reffered to in and earlier post? thanks very much for the help :mrgreen:

just a heads up, i bought the m audio pedals and one of them died in a week, i was using it as the wah pedal and i dont think it was rugged enough for that kind of abuse,
