QC Mini and 2 Expression Pedals?

Has anybody found a way to use the QC mini with 2 expression pedals?

I am struggling to get it to work. While I am no expert when it comes to MIDI and new to digital guitar gear in general, I wonder if this is even possible the way I was intending.

The goal would be to have one expression pedal control effects like wah, pitch or the gain level, I wanted another pedal to simultaneously control the wet/dry of delay and reverb (or gain level instead).

I tried this:

Regular expression pedal into theD QC Mini's EXP input (using a Nektar XP, worked well so far).

Dunlop DVP4 with its AUX and a TRS cable into either
- the QC's midi in (using a trs cable with a 6.3 to 6.5 trs adapter) or

- an external midi controller (nektar pacer) and its EXP 1.

I see the CC value on the screen of the external midi change but it doesnt do anything to the values when assigned in the QC mini itself.

Did anybody manage to connect 2 expression pedals to a QC mini? The simpler the better for my setup.

Thank you!

Not yet fully finished pedalboard but already very happy with this board.

Signal Chain is
Guitar into FreqOut (for controlled feedback even at low volumes and hella sustain) into QC. Then FX Loop with TubeScreamer Mini into Hizumitas fuzz. Plus a Nektar NXP expression pedal (might change later but it’s very light and super affordable).

All that mounted on a Harley Benton Spaceship 40 in a bundle with a palmer power bar which powers everything including (!!!) the QC Mini. All fits into a shoulder bag and is being mobile. I wish it was a bit smaller to fit into a backpack but oh well.

Will probably get a matching hard case at some point and a power amp when the model comes out (excited for that).

Currently plugging that into a Tech 21 Power Engine 60 but will see what options open up with a power amp and cabinet.

Very very happy with this so far.

I recently got my QC Mini (wow!) and use it with a Nektar NX-P expression pedal (great stuff for 18€!).

Originally I focused on the classics like wah, pitch shift etc. But then realised the possibilities are endless. Controlling the gain level for example. Or the mix on reverb and delay to switch between a tight rhythm sound and more spacious leads.

What are your favourite assignments or tricks with an expression pedal and the QC?
