Why Choose The Fender EXP-2 Expression Pedal?
Dual Function Design
Unlike many standard expression pedals, the EXP-2 combines a smooth expression controller with an integrated latching toe switch, allowing you to control continuous parameters while simultaneously switching effects on and off.
Designed for Fender Tone Master® Pro
The EXP-2 has been specifically developed to pair perfectly with the Fender Tone Master® Pro, providing seamless control over presets, effects and amplifier parameters during live performance.
Wide Equipment Compatibility
Internal compatibility switches allow the EXP-2 to work with Fender equipment as well as many third-party processors, multi-effects units and amplifiers that support external expression control.
Smooth Linear Control
The linear 10K expression circuit delivers accurate, responsive control across the entire treadle movement, making it ideal for volume swells, wah effects, delay feedback, modulation depth and countless other assignable parameters.
Adjustable Playing Feel
The treadle tension can be adjusted to suit your personal preference, allowing players to achieve anything from a light, fast response to a firmer, more controlled action.

Why Choose an Expression Pedal?
An expression pedal gives you real-time hands-free control over compatible equipment, allowing you to shape your sound dynamically during performance.
Rather than relying on fixed settings, an expression pedal lets you control volume, wah, pitch shifting, delay feedback, modulation speed, reverb mix and countless other assignable parameters using your foot. This creates a far more expressive playing experience while reducing the need to bend down and adjust controls mid-performance.
For players using modern digital processors or programmable amplifiers, an expression pedal is one of the most valuable additions to any rig.
Who Is It For?
Beginners
Ideal for players using compatible multi-effects units who want to expand their control without adding unnecessary complexity.
Intermediate Players
Perfect for musicians building more advanced live or recording setups with programmable effects.
Advanced & Professional Players
An excellent choice for touring musicians, session players and performers requiring precise real-time control over multiple parameters.

Product Story & Heritage
As digital amplification and modelling technology continue to evolve, expression pedals have become an essential tool for unlocking the full flexibility of modern guitar rigs.
Developed alongside Fender's latest generation of digital products, the EXP-2 reflects Fender's commitment to creating intuitive, professional accessories that integrate seamlessly with contemporary performance systems while maintaining compatibility with a broad range of third-party equipment.
Associated Products
The Fender EXP-2 has been designed as the ideal expression controller for the Fender Tone Master® Pro, while also offering compatibility with many other processors and effects units that support standard 10K expression pedals.
Its dual-output design makes it particularly useful for players who want both continuous control and footswitch functionality from a single compact unit.
Product Comparisons
Fender EXP-2 vs Mission Engineering EP-1
Both pedals offer professional expression control, but the EXP-2 adds an integrated toe switch and compatibility switching, making it particularly attractive for players using multiple devices.
Fender EXP-2 vs Boss EV-30
The Boss EV-30 features dual expression outputs for controlling two devices simultaneously, while the EXP-2 combines a dedicated expression output with a built-in latching toe switch.
Fender EXP-2 vs Dunlop DVP4 Volume (X) Mini
The DVP4 combines volume and expression functionality, whereas the EXP-2 focuses exclusively on expression control while adding an integrated switching function.
Fender EXP-2 vs Line 6 EX-1
The Line 6 EX-1 is a simple expression pedal, while the EXP-2 offers broader compatibility, adjustable tension, rugged construction and integrated toe-switch functionality.
Why Guitarists Use Expression Pedals
Expression pedals dramatically expand the capabilities of modern effects processors and digital amplifiers.
Rather than assigning one sound to each preset, expression control allows multiple parameters to evolve throughout a performance. Players can smoothly increase delay feedback, fade in reverb, morph amplifier channels, control wah filters or adjust overall volume with natural foot movements.
This level of control creates more dynamic performances while reducing the need for additional hardware.
