Volume control from the assignable pedal jack

Hello all, currently I'm controlling the volume on my LE with a friends stereo Ernie ball pedal from the output jacks. I read somewhere that's not the best way to go plus I can't keep his pedal forever. My question is about that jack on the back. Can somebody describe what kind of pedal would be plugged in there. I'm assuming when assigned for volume it would do the same thing that the LE's volume slider would do. Could it be as simple as just a pedal with a particular value potentiometer? I have a mono EB pedal I could modify, or is it a TRS jack and more complicated?
Thanks - Jeff in Paso Robles

It needs a TRS jack... What you need is an EXPRESSION PEDAL. With that you can do search on the forums and on some webmusicstore and you should be fine

If you're not sure if some pedal will work or not you can always ask here

Thanks for the response. When I searched, the KORG XVP-10 kept popping up. I guess I'll just bite the bullet and get one. I hope it's as bullet proof as the Ernie Ball pedals are. From what I can tell it seems to be a multi function pedal as in it works the same way the stereo EB does by controlling the analog outputs of the LE, plus it has the other expression function. Do you know if there's some type of "Y" cord supplied with the pedal? Otherwise it's not clear to me how I would connect it to the single assignable pedal jack on the synth.

Thanks again
