A pedal is a compact device that guitarists use to alter their instrument’s sound by shaping effects such as distortion, delay, reverb, and modulation. Typically housed in a rugged enclosure and controlled by footswitches, pedals are designed to be placed on the floor for hands-free operation during playing. They can be analogue or digital, true bypass or buffered, and come in countless varieties to suit different styles and preferences. Pedals are essential tools for creating signature tones and adding colour and texture to a guitarist’s sound.
A volume pedal is a foot-operated device used to control the volume of a guitar or other audio signal. It functions similarly to the volume knob on a guitar but allows for real-time, hands-free adjustment during performance. By rocking the pedal forward or backward with their foot, the guitarist can smoothly increase or decrease the volume level of their instrument. Volume pedals are commonly used in various musical contexts, including live performances and studio recordings, to create dynamic swells, fades, and volume changes. They can also be employed to adjust the balance between different instruments in a band or to control the overall volume of a guitar signal sent to effects pedals or amplifier.
Volume pedals come in passive and active varieties, with active models often providing additional features like adjustable gain and tone shaping. They typically feature a durable construction suitable for use on stage, with a non-slip surface and a smooth-action pedal for precise volume control. Some volume pedals also include a minimum volume knob, allowing the guitarist to set a minimum volume level when the pedal is fully rocked back, which can be useful for maintaining a consistent volume level during performances. Popular volume pedal models include the Ernie Ball VP Jr., Boss FV-500H, and Dunlop DVP4 Volume X.
