Hi gang,
I'm new in the forum and I have a little embarrassing question to ask you. How to use the FV-500 as expression on the AW-3 or the PS-5

You need a stereo>dual mono lead, Like this...


Basically one end has a standard stereo (tip/ring) jack, the other has 2 mono jacks (tip only).
These are sometimes called insert cables.

Connect the stereo end to the pedal.
Connect the 2 mono ends to the in/out of the FV500 (it maybe a bit of luck as to which goes to the IN, which goes to the OUT).
Set your volume knob on the FV500 to zero and all should now work.

Have you tried to reverse the in and out cables on the expression pedal?

The AW3 connections are correct.

Don't connect both ends to an out on the FV500!!!
It needs to form a complete circuit... From the AW3 > In the FV500 > Out the FV500 > Back to AW3.

You have to an IN and an OUT on the FV500, and make sure it's the same In and OUT (ie both Left In/Outs r both Right In/Outs).
If it doesn't work, just swap the In and Out connections around.
