- Premium griptape surface that grabs your foot and prevents slipping10
- Custom linear 10k ohm potentiometer for ultra-accurate expression10
- Easily adjustable tension using a standard hex key wrench, included109
- 1/4" (6.35mm) TRS expression output that connects to any HeadRush product with an expression pedal input10
