A mono TS cable such as a regular guitar cable, and
insert cables that have both TS and TRS plugs, will
not work in most cases.

separated by the black insulation bands. The pointed
front of the connector is the tip, the middle band is
the ring, and the large conductor at the rear nearest
the plug body is the sleeve.
The output labeled
OUT2
provides toe switching
functions when used with a compatible MIDI
controller. Use of the footswitch is optional. To
use the footswitch, connect

to a compatible
input on the controller using a second TRS-TRS ¼”

The EP-11S features a toggle switch under the
rocker in the center of the pedal. The toggle can be
used when required for compatibility with certain

compatibility with the Eleven Rack expression pedal
input. If you are using the pedal with a device that
requires a different polarity expression pedal, switch
the toggle to the reverse position.
