Depending on the connected equipment, the XXP-1 can control parameters\n    such as volume, wah, pitch, delay time, modulation depth, effect mix, gain, or\n    virtually any other function that accepts an external expression controller.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Internal DIP switches provide compatibility with both \u003cstrong\u003eTRS and TS expression\n    configurations\u003c\/strong\u003e, while Xotic's internal quick-connect wiring allows the\n    control functions to be reassigned to different output jack positions without\n    soldering.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003chr style=\"margin: 30px 0;\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eThree Control Functions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The XXP-1 provides three different ways to control compatible equipment from a\n    single pedal.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eEXP1 — Main Expression Treadle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The main treadle provides the traditional expression-pedal function, using a\n    \u003cstrong\u003e20K potentiometer\u003c\/strong\u003e and a wide mechanical sweep for smooth,\n    continuous parameter control.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Depending on the equipment connected to the XXP-1, EXP1 can be assigned to volume,\n    wah, pitch, effect mix, delay parameters, modulation, or any other continuously\n    variable function supported by the connected device.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Xotic uses a \u003cstrong\u003eplastic-conductive potentiometer\u003c\/strong\u003e for the main treadle,\n    selected for smooth operation, reliability, and long-term durability.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eEXP2 — Toe Switch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    EXP2 adds a \u003cstrong\u003emomentary TS footswitch\u003c\/strong\u003e at the toe position of the\n    treadle. Pressing down at the front of the pedal activates the switch without\n    requiring the player to move to a separate footswitch.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The exact function depends on the device being controlled. On compatible equipment,\n    it can be used for functions such as activating or bypassing an effect, engaging\n    wah mode, changing a parameter state, or triggering another function assigned to\n    a momentary external switch.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eEXP3 — Heel Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    EXP3 is Xotic's distinctive \u003cstrong\u003eheel-operated expression control\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n    A separate 20K potentiometer is adjusted using a control knob positioned at the\n    rear of the pedal, allowing a second continuous parameter to be adjusted with the\n    player's heel.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    This makes it possible to control one parameter with the main treadle while\n    simultaneously having access to another adjustable parameter without reaching\n    down to the pedalboard.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The heel knob incorporates a rubber O-ring underneath it, allowing the resistance\n    of the control to be adjusted according to how much pressure is applied when the\n    knob is installed. This helps prevent accidental movement while still allowing\n    intentional adjustments with the foot.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003chr style=\"margin: 30px 0;\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eFlexible TRS \u0026amp; TS Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Expression-pedal connections are not standardized across all manufacturers.\n    Some equipment uses a TRS expression connection, while other devices use a TS\n    configuration.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The XXP-1 addresses this with \u003cstrong\u003einternal DIP switches\u003c\/strong\u003e that allow\n    the expression outputs to be configured for either TRS or TS operation.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    With the rubber feet removed, the bottom of the pedal can be opened to access the\n    internal settings.
