OK, this is a weird one. I have a Line 6 HX Effects, which can use 2 expression pedals. I am using 1 specially made Ernie Ball with a 10k pot. This pedal has one of those strange 'kick switches' on the side of the pedal, basically an on/off latching footswitch usually used to switch channels on an amp or something.
So I got an idea to use it as my 'Expression Pedal #2', if just as an on/off switch...maybe for a leslie sound, as I can specify min/max values on the effects pedal itself. Problem is, that it won't recognize the on/off at all, as it needs to see a 10k resistor in series (I tried, and this was confirmed by Line 6). Their idea was to just wire the resistor in series with one side of the switch. Then it should work.
Well, Ernie Ball pedals are notoriously difficult to work on, and from what I can see, the switch is hardwired to a small PC board. So I don't think that will be possible. Could I just modify a guitar cable (just a TS one) to have the resistor in series with one of the leads?
