Customer Reviews

Features

With the help of the function knobs, this reverb pedal can bring you to some strange territory rather quickly. The Dry/Wet knob controls the amount of reverb in the mix, the Time Knob adjusts decay time, and the Level Knob controls the overall volume.
Features - LED changes color depending on different reverb modes. Red for "Room", Green for "Spring", and a Red/Green Mixture for "Well", which makes it very clearly distinguishable on a dark stage.
NOTE: If you have any problems with this device, try using it with a high quality alkaline battery or the 9V battery adapter from our store to determine compatibility with your pedalboard power supply.
Housed in a compact, die-cast box. 1/4 inch input and output jacks and an AC adapter input on the top of the unit. Uses a standard 9-volt negative tip power supply, or add a daisy chain to run multiple pedals from the one power supply source. (Adapter not included).
3 Different Reverb Settings: "Spring" mode is snappy and dark. This works very nicely with stabbed chords. "Well" mode is bouncy, sounding like notes bouncing off the walls. "Room" mode allows you to get some very wet and atmospheric sounds and works beautifully with ambient sections.

Selecting the Perfect volume pedals for ambient swells - The Buyer's Guide

What is boss slow gear?

The Boss SG-1 Slow Gear is one of the rarest boss pedals and was produced in Japan by Boss in the early '80s. The effect replicates the sound of a guitarist rolling their volume knob to give a somewhat tremolo-like sound but with a dynamic all its own.

What happened to Pensa Suhr?

Back then, the guitars were built by none other than John Suhr, and at the time, the brand was known as Pensa-Suhr. John has, as we know very well, moved onto his own fantastic business with Suhr guitars, but Pensa continues today with guitars being assembled and set up in Rudy's Soho basement workshop.

Can you put a volume pedal in the effects loop?

Placing your pedal in the effect loop of your amp means it no longer functions like a foot-controlled guitar volume. With gain in play on your pedalboard, the volume pedal now acts as a level control. You'll have the same amount of gain no matter how you set the level with the volume pedal.

Can you use a crybaby as a volume pedal?

Premium Member. Technically, yes, although I have no idea how well it does this. The switch converts it from wah to volume. It is possible that all you need to do is install a switch that connects the junction of the .

Can you use expression pedal for volume?

Exactly what an expression pedal can control, will depend on the features of the device it is connected to. Most digital amplifiers and multi-effects units support expression pedal control of basic functions such as volume, wah, and whammy which are traditionally controlled from this type of pedal.

What are swells in music?

a gradual increase in loudness of sound. Music. a gradual increase (crescendo) followed by a gradual decrease (diminuendo) in loudness or force of musical sound.

Do I need a passive or active volume pedal?

If you have active pickups you'll need a passive volume pedal in the 25K – 50K range. If you mix these up, you'll likely suffer some tone loss from the impedance mismatch. If you are using an active volume pedal you don't need to worry about the value of the potentiometer.

How do you make a swell in music?

Music swells are essentially auditory ramp-ups created by taking the last section of a song and reversing it. Note, this trick will only work on a song with a long fade-out at the end; it needs to close on a single key hit.

Where do you put the volume pedal in the chain for swells?

The volume pedal should be placed after the overdrive/distortion section but before the time-based effects (reverb and delay) within the effects chain. This allows for a 'long trail' essential for the delay and reverb to continue 'sustaining' the sound when the volume pedal is cut off.

Steve loves music. Steve Romanoski and his wife live in Alaska. They are always on the go, exploring new places and trying out new products (especially those which can help them enjoy the great musics even more). When he's not writing about products, Steve Romanoski enjoys reading books about history and science. He likes to think of himself as a renaissance man, but his wife would probably say that he's just a big kid at heart.
