cable with a TRS connector at both ends is required.
A mono TS cable such as a regular guitar cable, and
insert cables that have both TS and TRS plugs, will
not work in most cases.
Figure 1. A TRS connector with the three conductors
separated by the black insulation bands. The pointed
front of the connector is the tip, the middle band is
the ring, and the large conductor at the rear nearest
the plug body is the sleeve.
The output labeled OUT2 provides toe switching
functions when used with a compatible MIDI
controller. Use of the footswitch is optional. To
use the footswitch, connect OUT2 to a compatible
input on the controller using a second TRS-TRS ¼”
instrument cable. The switch is operated by pushing
down on the front of the pedal with sufficient
pressure to actuate the switch.

The standard EP-11S is fitted with a TRS latching
foot switch. Different controller inputs may require
different switches. User installable Switch Kit’s are
available.

Switch
The EP-11S features a toggle switch under the
rocker in the center of the pedal. The toggle can be
used when required for compatibility with certain
MIDI controllers. The factory default is set for
compatibility with the Eleven Rack expression pedal
input. If you are using the pedal with a device that
requires a different polarity expression pedal, switch
the toggle to the reverse position.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Mission
EP-11S expression pedal. This product is designed
to be intuitive to setup and operate, and to provide
many years of trouble free service. However, we
recommend that you take a few moments to read
through this User Guide in order to get the best
possible experience with your new pedal.

The EP-11S is professional quality, all metal
expression pedals designed for use with Avid
Eleven Rack guitar processor. Mission and Avid
engineers collaborated on the development of the
EP-11S to ensure a perfectly performing expression
pedal to control effects parameters of the Eleven
rack including wah, volume, rotary speaker and
many others. The EP-11S additionally features
a toe switch, that when used with a compatible
MIDI controller, can be used to support switchable
functions such as turning an effect on and off.

The EP-11S is a passive device and requires no
internal battery or external power source for
expression control and switching.

The EP-11S uses two ¼” TRS phone plug outputs
marked OUT1 and OUT2 on the underside of the
pedal. OUT1 is the expression pedal output and
OUT2 is the switch output. When using the pedal
without a MIDI controller, only one output can be
used at a time. Connect OUT1 to the exp pedal
input on the rear panel of the Eleven Rack using a
¼” TRS-TRS instrument cable such as the Mission
MCTRS3A cable. TRS stands for Tip, Ring, Sleeve
and is a three-conductor cable. It is sometimes also
called a stereo or balanced cable. Use of the correct

ConfigurAtion
When connecting the EP-11S to the back of the
Eleven Rack, it is necessary to set the Eleven Rack
to correctly recognize the pedal in order to get the
best response. Turn on the Eleven Rack and hold
the edit button for a few seconds to bring up the
option menu on the display. Turn the scroll knob
until ‘External Pedals’ is highlighted and then press
the illuminated SW1 ‘select’ button. If necessary,
turn the scroll knob again until ‘Expression Pedals’ is
highlighted. Turn the illuminated ‘Pedal Type’ knob
until ‘Pedal Type: EP-11’ is displayed.
After selecting the pedal type, the start and stop
positions need to be calibrated. Press the illuminated
SW2 ‘calibrate’ button. Set the pedal to heel down
and then press the SW1 ‘next’ button. Set the pedal
to toe down and press next again. To test that the
Eleven Rack is detecting the pedal, move the rocker
up and down and make sure that the green SW2
‘active’ light illuminates. If not, check that you are
using the correct cable, and it is connected correctly,
then repeat the setup procedure. Press SW1 ‘save’
to store the settings, and setup is complete.
AdjumEnts
The tension of the rocker can be adjusted using the
tension adjustment screw on the rear of the pedal
between the rocker and the base. Use the hex key
provided to tighten the adjustment screw until the
pedal remains in place. It maybe necessary to adjust
this screw every once in a while to compensate for
use and environmental conditions such as very hot or
