That's a sweet little rig!  I'm SO very happy that there are small volume pedals and roller pedals now.  I spent YEARS trying to make a good tiny controller and got some good results, but the pleathora of options now is just fabulous.

QuoteI have just got my GT-1000 and I have both the FV-300L and FV-500L and I cannot seem to calibrate them. I just get the message "Out of Range"

^^ Roland FV-500L/H   =  Is capable of working as an EV-5 10K ohm linear Expression Pedal - but needs a 1/4" TRS to 1/4" TRS cable from the EXP Out jack to the GT-1000 External EXPRESSION pedal input

LINE-6 Expression Pedal Options (for Line-6 Gear
-------------





thebrushwithin

Well, I have been trying to use the DOD mini Expression pedal with my Line6 HX Stomp. I love the size, they definitely are compatible, however, only one of the three I have purchased, was not defective. The latest problem suddenly appeared, with no apparent cause, as I was using it to program my Stomp, in the studio. Suddenly the gear mechanism just would no longer move the pot. Mind you, I was using my hand to move the pedal, hardly any sort of abuse. I have read, since then, of others having problems with these pedals. Really quite a shame as they worked with my Stomp, or my GR30, simply switching the RTS-TS-TRS setting. So, I would recommend staying away from this piece of gear.

M2 MINI EXPRESSION PEDAL


This is a one-way pedal with a small footprint. You don't pass your signal through it, but let it control any parameter supported by devices that has voltage control or an expression pedal input. It could be a digital amp, an effect pedal or a synth.

Simply use a standard TRS (stereo) cable to hook up the pedal and let it control e.g. Rate or Depth on a chorus effect, pitch for Whammy-like effects, reverb tails or whatever you could imagine. This is pedal that sparks inspiration!



MAIN FEATURES & SPECS
Passive Voltage Control / Expression – No battery or power adapter needed.
Smooth Consistent Taper – Ensures accurate control of various parameters.
Alternate Connection: – Use it with devices that have reversed wiring.
TRS Connection – Use a TRS cable (stereo cable) to hook up the pedal.
Super Versatile – Ready to control any device with a voltage control or expression pedal feature.
Compact by Nature – Perfect for crowded pedal boards.
Built to Last – Road-worthy, cold-rolled steel housing.
Dimensions –  6.76″ L x 4.5″ W x 2.75″ H
Current Draw – N/A (passive)
1 Year Warranty – Please keep your purchase receipt.

-been using that type for years - they are 100% Roland EV-5 compatible

Valeton is a division of Hotone , and Sonicake is the econo division =all use same production line 

and Donner is the OEM

Only down side is only the top models ( Hotone Soul Press, Bass Press )  - employ the "Minimum Volume" control

the top model is the Hotone Soul Press Wah/Vol/ Expression in a Metal Body

the SoniCake is the budget Plastic model  - yet all have a good build quality

Thanx.
So well worth a try.

I have the Hotone and Vexpress.  My VEXpress gave me some trouble (bad pot?) but none of my Hotones have.  That's FWIW

I think it's worth mentioning that an expression pedal is essentially just a potentiometer in a foot operated box.



The ergonomics is pretty crucial, the expression pedals I made for my MIDI controller are at the wrong angle, I'm going to have to modify them. At the moment, they are near enough parallel to the floor when at "zero" but because of the natural angle of my foot (anyone's foot) when simply treading on them is not parallel to the floor the initial foot contact is somewhat 'heel down'. So on my controller the angle of the pedals needs to be changed. They need to be parallel to the top panel of the controller which is at 90 degrees to the natural angle of my foot when approaching the pedal.


...is this something to do with your PEDantics we were discussing elsewhere ?   ::)
Read slower!!!   ....I'm typing as fast as I can...

Have folks compared the throw on these Donner/Hotone pedals with the Dunlop DVP4? The Dunlop looks like a tank but is 2X the price. To clarify, I am only looking at Expression, not passive volume or wah applications.
