What is the BOSS EV-5?

  • It’s an external expression/volume pedal made by BOSS (also sold under Roland).

  • It includes a 2-meter TRS 1/4″ cable permanently attached, allowing it to connect to many keyboards, synthesizers, guitar effects, and amps that accept expression pedals.

Key Features & Specs

  • Main Volume/Expression Control + Minimum-Volume Knob
    The pedal provides smooth continuous control over a parameter (usually volume), and the side “Minimum Volume” knob lets you set the lowest value the pedal will reach. This helps define the pedal’s usable range.

  • Compact, lightweight design
    Roughly 86 mm (W) × 200 mm (D) × 54 mm (H), about 400 g. Easy to carry and doesn’t take much pedalboard space.

  • Versatile control
    Works not only as a volume pedal but also as a controller for things like filter cutoff, effect mix, modulation depth, delay feedback, and other assignable parameters.

  • Durable construction
    Like most BOSS gear, it’s designed for practice, stage, and studio use.

Best Uses

  • Keyboardists & synth players: Great for controlling volume or real-time parameters (filters, effects).

  • Guitar pedalboards: Works as an expression controller for compatible pedals or modelers.

  • Live performance: Ideal for swells, dynamic changes, or hands-free parameter control.

  • Studio recording: Offers smooth, precise parameter movement without automation.

When the EV-5 Makes Sense

Choose the EV-5 if you want a compact, simple, reliable, budget-friendly expression pedal, especially for keyboards, synths, or devices already designed around Roland wiring. It’s ideal for players who need basic expression control without extra features or a large footprint.
