thanks for the tips soundog. if anyone else comes across this thread looking for a 100k pot for EB Jr.VP: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062287&CAWELAID=107596080# Edit: UPDATE - this radio shack part linked here does not work, at least on the EB VP Jr I have. The threads...

OK, just noticed what you actually said, you wired it up TRS.
I was going to put a 100k pot in myself but I'm having a hard time finding one with a shaft long enough to hold the pulley. Did you have someone do it?

I would love to get the expression pedal aspect of the ss really working well. The calibration helps, but I have not been able to get a pedal working really well.

Yes - specs for what type expression pedal is expected would be helpful.

I've been having the same problem.
It didn't seem to be happening before I adjusted the sensitivity of the pedals with the global [whatever that setting is called] to a lighter touch. I need to do a little investigating into my rig to figure it out.

I absolutely love the SoftStep and it is in many ways so much better then I had wished for in a USB midi pedal. I am very excited to get deeper into it. But I must admit: I too think that the material is pretty confusing and a little scattered. My suggestion (and I hope this is taken the right way) ...
