I am very simple in that I only use a handful of presets live (very good ones, hehehe). I also only use a couple tools and one of them is wah pedal.
I have been using my kemper power rack live for a while now with my GCX midi switching floor pedal (just a simple midi switcher that I have used forever and know my way around very well)
My go to pedal has been the Bad Horsie 2 for years, several reasons I like this.
1) optical on! When I want it, it's there. No standing on it in toe position like cry baby
2) frequency pot setting, I can kind of set the sweep (we used to stack picks or quarters back in the day)
3) Spring return
I have been using this with the Kemper, but would like to get away from it. (sometimes the boost gets bumped on accident and distorts my signal, the bad horsie is a power hog as well, I really want to get away from it if I can, I mean I have the Kemper, lets use it, right?)
What's my question right?
I have a Ernie ball Jr. volume pedal (own and paid for! I'm cheap, sorry)
If I modify the pedal to have a spring return, can I effectively get a Bad Horsie 2 wah? Meaning the things I like... turns off auto at heel position, turns on auto if I am using it. I will of course handle the mechanical spring portion to make it return, and I can set the sweep/range in the Kemper? Can it always be available on all my presets, (global) or do I have to set that up in every preset I use?
Is this doable, or do I need to buy the mission pedal. To what I have read, I don't think I need a mission pedal. Additionally, the mission looks like it would functions and feel like a crybaby from what I have read, which I personally am not a fan of. I hate the toe stomp, always have!
Any help would be great. Looking for basic confirmation that what I want to do is "doeable" before I start drilling on my volume pedal and modding it.
Thanks!
