MOJO/Roland FA06 with FC7

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

just a quick question: my MOJO swell pedal seems to be going on the fritz, do forum members use the Yamaha FC7 sucessfully with the Mojo? The reason I'm asking is in the manual it is stated: "Please use only genuine CRUMAR expression pedals. Other pedals and/or equipment can damage the instrument"

Not sure how a FC7 might damage the instrument but just wanna make sure. :idk

 

Also, did anyone get the FC7 to play nice with the Roland FA06? I had mine connected but couldn't get it to work, even after going through the pedal settings and doing the turning on/off-routine.

 

Oh, did I mention the FC7 is my favourite swell pedal? :D

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mo

To work with the Roland, the tip and ring need to be reversed. Not polarity.

Many people bought the adapter that used to be available from Ashby.

 

The easiest method is to get a couple TRS "Y" cables that separate the tip and ring. Get one that is female to two males, and one that is male to two females.

 

Connect the two Y adapters together, but with tip going to ring, and vice versa.

 

The plug your FC7 into the female side, and plug the other end of the adapter into your FA06.

 

Finally, if you're handy with soldering, you can easily open the FC7 and rewire the thing in a few minutes.

 

That's what I did. I now have a Roland dedicated FC7 in my setup.
