Expression pedals to use with Digitech PMC-10

[Ed Drake <ejmd@erols.com>]

Fellow loopfolk,
Sorry for the lack of loop content. I recently found a Digitech PMC-10 new
still in the box and snatched it up (it was the last one they had). It is a
very deep MIDI foot controller and I want to use expression pedals with it
but the ones I've tried out with it, I haven't been totally pleased with.
Has anyone of you other PMC-10 users found out which expression pedals work
with it the best? I want something that uses the whole range of the foot
pedal not just a small range of its'sweep. I have set up the expression
pedals in the Utilities menu and I've tried both CV and just plain volume
pedals and they both work OK but I think there might be something out there
even better.
Also on a related note, Digitech informs me there are no more replacement
hand held programmers for the PMC-10 left in stock, so all of you who
bought them by the gross and hoarded them could make a killing on resale.
Digitech does have the schematics for the programmer available for $5.
How do you PMC-10 owners use yours in your looping and/or other setups?
Thanks!
Ed
