Why not just a straight 25k pot?

the millenium pedal does not work very well with megadrum. Ask EricSinger for more info about this because he had one of those. Use a DIY pedal with a pot or buy a Roland FD8 pedal

Why? It works fine for me. Or are you talking about that it is a switch type pedal? Than why do you say it doesn't work very well with MegaDrum in particular?

I just remembered my friend EricSinger had a lot of problems with his millenium pedal and he finally went the DIY way. So at the end it worked ok? I don't really know for sure, sorry to have given incorrect info
