I just got an M Audio M Gear EX-P from Amazon for about $25 bucks. It came yesterday and definitely does the job an expression pedal should. It’s a plastic housing so if you’re out gigging, it may not last but for $25 it’s pretty good. Here’s the link-

Does anyone have any cheap recommendations on an expression pedal to use with it? I was looking at this but I'm worried that it wont hold up well as its made of plastic...
Not sure exactly what your requirements are, but for continuous control of one MIDI parameter, try a $30 expression pedal? Or geez, even $21.50 on that other site..
If your controller has an input for a continuous pedal (these usually look like standard 1/4" jacks), then you can plug one of these or these in.
Note that this won't work in a keyboard's "Sustain Pedal" input, which is designed for a basic off/on pedal. You need a jack that is designed for a continuous pedal.
Depending on your MIDI controller, you should be able to assign this pedal to control expression (11), volume (7), modulation (1), or any CC. But some controllers may limit your options.
If your controller has MIDI IN, you could also get a knob controller like this one, and control any number of parameters. The BCR also has pedal inputs but I can't remember if it accepts continuous pedals.
(1) Unfortunately, I didn't get an expression pedal yet. I though about getting this one because it is cheap and seems decent. Some people say they aren't very durable though.
(2) I would love to hear it with a 12 string, might sound cool, but I have a feeling it might sound a little jumbled/muddy with too much going on.
(3) I responded to your post :)
