EXPRESSION SWEEP TOGGLE SWITCH
Set this switch to match the taper of the expression controller. Volume pedals
are usually ‘log’ (logarithmic) and dedicated expression pedals are usually
‘linear.’ If the expression pedal does not seem to be changing settings in a
smooth, even way, try the other expression sweep setting.
The expression sweep, or taper, describes the relationship between the output
of the expression pedal and the physical position of the pedal. With a linear

Settings can be adjusted before or during a save. Begin a save by holding the center toggle switch
to the right, and complete a save by holding the switch a second time to the left (for heel settings)
or right (for toe settings). Repeat the procedure for both toe and heel settings. Any or all settings
can be changed, in any amount or direction. Setting the expression control can be done at any
time, including when Kismet is set to a memory, ‘Live Settings,’ or even when it’s currently in
expression mode. Because of that, the knob positions may not match the actual, internal settings.
It is the actual settings that are saved, i.e., what you hear is what you save. Expression settings are
saved to EEPROM memory and are not lost when power is disconnected.
sweep they are always the same, e.g., an output of 50% when the pedal is rocked halfway. Log, or
audio sweep produces a ramped curve response.
USING EXPRESSION CONTROL
Kismet’s expression control morphs all five settings at the same time, between the saved ‘heel’ and
‘toe’ settings. Use it for something as simple as a volume pedal, or really bend your tone from
clean and bright to heavy high gain. Anything is possible.
