   An expression pedal can be set up to be used as a volume pedal, but not the other way around.

   A volume pedal is a (mostly) mechanical device regulating the volume (duh). In the most basic versions these pedals have a potentiometer built into the pedal, which increases or decreases the volume as the pedal is pushed down or backed up.

   An expression pedal on the other hand controls the amount of voltage which again control certain functions. These functions can be things like volume, delay, chorus, distortion levels, volume, on/off switch etc. in an effects processor, synth or keyboard. The expression pedal can change whatever parameters the user sets it up to do.

   So, unless you have a volume pedal which doubles as an expression pedal (I'm really not sure if such a thing exists), you will need a dedicated expression (control voltage) pedal.

   Roland has a couple of widely used ones, EV-5 and EV-7 – I use the EV-5 myself and it has held up for years with constant live use: http://www.roland.com/products/en/EV-5/

   I concur with Deany. Sounds like either a comfort bike or hybrid is what you want to look for. I also agree you are best off going to a bike shop – they will fit you to the appropriate size bike and you can rest assured it is assembled properly. $250 may be a hair low, price wise, but you'll be getting a better bike.

   Let your sense of style and comfort determine whether you get comfort bikes or hybrids. While not exactly to my taste, (I prefer Italian racing machines) comfort bikes come with a great sense of style, particularly if want a retro style cruiser. Hybrids, a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike, have a more up-to-date sensibility. The great thing about modern comfort bikes and hybrids is they all tend to be built of lightweight, high quality aluminium alloys. Thus, they provide good performance and high durability.

   In any case, take a good long ride on each model you consider. A 10 minute spin around the shop's parking lot will not turn up fit issues. An hour or more per bike will help you know you are getting the right bike for you.

   Hope this helps.

   Ever since I was about ten (and first allowed by my piano teacher to go anywhere near the sustain pedal), I have been a serial offender of over pedalling. Until about two years ago, when I finally figured it out. The pedal really needs to go along with the phrasing in the music – where are the slurs marked? That's where the pedal should begin and end. It is a very subjective thing, I think, and much of it is personal preference. That said, eventually, pedalling will become intuitive. Eventually. It always does.

   Of course, whether you use the pedal or not, and how much, is also determined by the style of music you are playing. If you are playing baroque music (like bach for instance), the pedal is rarely, if ever, used. It is used more in classical (like Beethoven) but still, fairly sparingly. The pedal is used most liberally in Romantic period music (like Chopin). Many musicians also try to use the pedal to cover up mistakes (cough-me-cough). Trust me, that is not the right use, and nor does it work :p hehehe…I always thought it was working and my piano teacher saw right through it.

   This doesn’t sound like a typical Pink Floyd song.

   The guys at Morpheus produce only two guitar pedal products and they are the Droptune and Capo. I am a big lover of those business’s use the motto that if you do something good then stick to it. It’s best to leave all the bells and whistle …
