Expression Pedal

Hey guys..need some help

Been working on several lead sounds. Since the G8 aftertouch seems to be either on or off, I want to use an expression pedal as aftertouch...

I am using a Boss Expression pedal, a big metal silver one. The problem is that on the aftertouch setting, after i use it once, it only goes back down to 45 not 0. I have played with all the settings on the pedail, and no dice, it stops at 45.

Any ideas? If the pedal doesnt work, OK, anyone using a pedal that works well with the G?

Get yourself the Roland EV-5, although I don't understand what's it that you find wrong about the Fantom-G's aftertouch sensor. It works perfectly ok.

Well on the G8 it's on or off. It's really hard to bring in just a little after touch. I have played with the sensitivity and it still seems on or off. Weird about that pedal. I guess I will have to check out the EV5

I've tried a Boss FV-300L in the past, but I had no luck at all. The EV-5 is compatible with the Fantom-G.
