Topic: keyboard sustain pedal?

i received a roland keyboard sustain pedal by mistake instead of a boss ph2 phaser. ( i eventually got the phaser for free because of the mistake) so my question is can i use this sustain pedal as an expression pedal on other guitar effects that have an expression pedal input?

i would just try it myself but i dont have any pedals with expression input, and dont want to buy one and have it not work.

i know it wont sustain the effect or anything i figure its a pedal with a pot in it and the same size jack as guitar pedal inputs that maybe it will work.

Re: keyboard sustain pedal?

a keyboard sustain pedal is a midi device ( continuous controller 64 ..on value 1...off value 127 or visa versa)
so  using it with analogue devices will not?( should not ) work? ... you could probably rewire the hardware
maybe for some practical use ( volume pedal/tone pedal/on off switch/defeat switch etc )
