Description
BOSS EV-5 Expression Pedal
The BOSS EV-5 Expression Pedal is a professional-quality continuous controller designed to bring dynamic, expressive performance control to keyboards, synthesizers, and any device equipped with an expression input. By connecting the EV-5 to your instrument or effects unit via its included 2-meter TRS cable, you gain smooth, responsive foot control over volume, pitch, effect depth, or any other assignable parameter—transforming static playing into a dynamic, living performance.
The EV-5 features a smooth-action rocker pedal with a wide throw angle for precise, nuanced control, and a dedicated Minimum Volume knob lets you set a custom floor level for the pedal's travel range. This allows you to define exactly how much effect the pedal's movement has—whether you want to sweep from silence to full volume, or limit the range to a gentle swell between two set levels. The knob-based minimum volume adjustment is accessible and easy to configure during a soundcheck or rehearsal.
Built with the quality and durability expected from BOSS, the EV-5 is compatible with a wide range of keyboards, synthesizers, guitar multi-effects processors, and other devices that feature a standard TRS expression input. The 2-meter cable is permanently attached for a secure and reliable connection, and the pedal's robust construction ensures years of dependable use in any performance environment.
