Moyo mini volume pedal

The Moyo volume pedal is a compact, simple, rugged, reliable boutique volume pedal that works well for any instrument with a pickup.  No tone loss.

Please be sure that you want a volume pedal and not an expression pedal. To find the Moyo expression pedal, go to:   https://reverb.com/item/16629808-moyo-expression-pedal.

250K or 500K potentiometer? The 250K slightly attenuates the high frequencies. The 500K will sound brighter, more like the tone actually coming out of the instrument. Some players would call the 250K 'warmer' sounding, others 'duller' sounding. In fact, some musicians are very passionate about it. I am not; to me it's win-win. The difference is a little nudge of the treble knob on an amplifier. Pedal steel players tend to prefer the 500K, guitarists the 250K. I play pedal steel guitar, and I use them interchangeably, but I tend to prefer the 500K. Most passive (unpowered) volume pedals use 250K pots.

If you want a volume pedal with a 250Kohm potentiometer, just send a message when you order and I'll send you one, instead of the 500Kohm pedal. If you order a volume and don't specify, I will send you the 500KOhm.

If you have active pickups and/or buffers before the volume pedal in your signal chain, you might prefer a volume pedal with a 25Kohm potentiometer, which I do not offer.

I am a pedal steel guitarist; I designed and built the Moyo pedal for myself originally. I wanted a volume pedal that was compact, light, and reliable. A good volume pedal is not about bright lights and glitter. It is all about function: to simply control musical instrument volume--with your foot--without coloring the tone.

Features:

6"length X 2"width X 1 5/8"height(5 X 15.3 X 4cm)

Weight about 1 lb.  (.5kg)

500Kohm or 250Kohm Dunlop 'superpot' long life audio taper potentiometer with no tone degradation. (I have yet to wear one of these out.)

1/4" mono in and out.

Tuner out jack.

2mm diameter polyester string. (strong, durable)

Non-skid top and bottom.

Solid aluminum, brushed finish. A simple passive pedal: no power required. Honest and solid in construction.

Hand built by yours truly in Denver, Colorado, USA

All the jacks must be on the right side of the pedal. I normally build the pedals with the input farthest forward, then the output, and then farthest back the tuner jack. I can build them with the input and output reversed. I usually stock pedals with both configurations.

Patent Pending

If there were a better volume pedal available (in my admittedly subjective opinion), I would be using it!
