(By default exp 2 Korg, the pot is not run at maximum. Here is what I did.

Good on you, mate!

Still, the problem is that you can't get the full speed range (not the fastest available speed).

You can only get a percentage of the total speed range via this pedal. Now, whether it's going to be on the slower side or on the faster side (like you chose), that's a matter of personal preference.

Adjust the pedal for faster vibe speed and you will loose a portion of the slower range. Adjust the pedal for slower vibe speed and you will loose a portion of the faster range.

Don't you worry about it buddy, it's a known issue.

Chances are it has something to do with the resistance value or the type of the pot but it's alright. It's still usable once you adjust it (the way you did) to your own sweet spot.

Enjoy your megavibe and your speed pedal mate. :toast:

PS: I forgot, and thanks for the picture/directions on how to adjust the speed range, I know it's going to be useful for quite a few people out there. ;)

I have replaced potentiometer exp 2 Korg, with a stereo Potentiometer 220kΩ; 100mW; ± 20%; 6mm) linear. I have the whole speed range, and slightly more in the slower speeds (compared to the megavibe without exp 2 Korg).
I thank Cyril for the council. of (cdm custom lab).

you can also go down to 200k. I think. ("edit" stay on 220 k. I is not trying 200k. in doubt, take potentiometer 220K linear stereo.)
This time I have really tested well. this is so cool. full range speed ok now.

megavibe + speed pedal: ok ok
