Adjusting The Expression Pedal - Boss ME-20 Owner's Manual

Other Functions

Adjusting the Expression Pedal

Although the ME-20's expression pedal has been set for optimal operation at the factory,
extended use and certain operating environments can result in the pedal going out of
adjustment.
If you encounter problems, such as the expression pedal's ON/OFF switch not functioning or
the volume pedal not fully cutting off the sound, you can use the following procedure to
readjust the pedal.
When operating the expression pedal, be careful not to get your fingers pinched
between the movable part and the panel. In places with small children, an adult
should provide supervision and guidance until the child is capable of following all
the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.
