5. Chorus Sounds
Here are some settings to get your experimentation started.

Style = Shimmer, speed = 2, depth = 4, mix = 4
Style = Lush, speed = 3, depth = 4, mix = 4
STRONG – More intense chorus sounds
Style = Classic, speed = 1, depth = 7, delay = 9
Style = Shimmer, speed = 7, depth = 8, mix = 10
Style = Lush, speed = 8, depth = 6, mix = 10

6. Expression Pedal
Your expression pedal can be used in two different ways.
1) It can control overall effects level.
2) It can control individual effect parameters in ways you specify. For example, the pedal could control the delay repeats, chorus
speed or both.
Overall Control
Changing effect sounds on the fly can really spice up your sound. Plug an expression pedal into your E-155 and you are
ready to go. With no additional hassle, the pedal controls the overall level of your effects.
NOTE
– A passive volume pedal can be used as an expression pedal but requires a special cable. See “Using A Volume
Pedal As An Expression Pedal” below.
Individual Parameter Control
- Description
There is a second, powerful way to use an expression pedal with your E-155. The function of any, or all, of the six knobs can
be controlled by an expression pedal. This is handy, for example, if you would rather change chorus speed than overall
effects mix on a particular preset.
But that’s only scratching the surface. Check this idea. You can have a great chorus sound when the expression pedal is in
the heel down position, and a delay when the expression pedal is in the toe down position. The expression pedal will
smoothly morph (change) between the two sounds.

- Setting It Up
IMPORTANT
– Don’t mess with this if you don’t have an expression pedal connected.
Hold down both style buttons for 2 seconds; the chorus and delay on/off lights will blink.
Move the expression pedal to the heel down position and set the six knobs any way you like. Then move the expression
pedal to the toe down position and move any of the knobs to create a different sound. You can change one knob, or two, or
all of them. Whatever butters your bread. The pedal will smoothly morph between the two sounds you create.
The 6 style lights show which knobs are affected by the expression pedal.

Delay Level
When you are happy with the setup, hold down both style buttons for 2 seconds and the chorus and delay on/off lights will
stop blinking. The six style lights return to showing which styles are selected.
NOTE
– The expression pedal setup you just created must be stored as a preset to be recalled later.
