Roland EV-5 Expression Guitar Pedal

The Roland EV-5 is a versatile expression pedal designed to give musicians real-time, foot-controlled manipulation of parameters on compatible effects units, synthesizers, and multi-effects processors. Unlike a volume pedal, which passes audio signal, the EV-5 sends a variable control signal through a standard 1/4-inch TRS connection, allowing you to sweep effects like reverb depth, delay feedback, filter cutoff, or modulation rate on the fly during a performance. Its broad compatibility with Roland, BOSS, and many third-party devices makes it a practical addition to nearly any rig that supports expression pedal input.

The pedal features a heavy-duty construction built to handle regular stage and studio use, along with a smooth, consistent sweep action that allows for precise adjustments mid-performance. A notable feature is the minimum volume knob located on the side, which lets you set the lower limit of the pedal's range—useful for ensuring you never cut a parameter entirely to zero when that isn't desired. The EV-5 requires no batteries or external power, keeping your setup simple and cable management minimal. It is a straightforward, reliable tool that does exactly what it's designed to do: put expressive control right at your feet.
