Several years ago after I'd built a few pedal steel guitars, making them smaller and lighter, I got to thinking about volume pedals: do they have to be so dang big?
How small could a volume pedal be and still do its job?
So I built a little one that soon became my favorite. Other musicians asked me about it and asked me to build more.
Here they are, hand built in Denver. A sweet little boutique volume pedal, a great addition to any pedalboard.
Patent Pending
it's me!
the pedal in action
500Kohm 'superpot'
7 million cycle, does not affect tone.
1/4" mono input and output
plus 1/4" mono tuner out jack.
6"length X 2"width X 1 5/8"height
weight about 1 lb.
It's a passive pedal: no power required.
Honest and solid in construction.
Non-skid top and bottom
Solid aluminum, brushed finish.
Utilizing the same chassis as the moyo volume pedal, the moyo expression pedal uses a 1/4" TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) jack and a Dunlop 10K ohm linear taper potentiometer.
Yes you can, but all the jacks must be on the right side of the pedal. I normally build them with the input farthest forward (on the right), then the output, and then farthest back the tuner jack.
Only one color: brushed aluminum. Once it's yours you can decorate it any way you want.
Yes it is, but you won't need to. When I put them together, I adjust the pedals so that they use nearly all of the potentiometer travel in both directions. It is best for the potentiometer that it does not bottom out completely, but the volume does go all the way off to all the way on.
Pocket sizes vary, but it will fit in most back pockets. It fits in mine.
The pedal is 6"length X 2"width X 1 5/8"height.
I'm not saying the string will never break, but I have never broken one.
I don't have a formal warranty. I'm just a guy building these pedals by hand in my workshop. The Golden Rule works for me, and I don't believe I have any disgruntled customers out there. I want you to have a pedal that works for you. If there is a problem with the pedal, I will either fix it, replace it, or take it back for a full refund.
No. The Golden Rule does not apply to the freebie department.
