FV-500-H : A tank of a volume pedal

6 years ago

Pros: solid and very well made, nice sweep and range, adjustable resiatance.

Cons: Large and a bit heavy - actually the weight is probably more of a pro because the pedal tends to stay where you put it.

I really like the design of the pedal, it is a substantial piece of aluminium and I am sure the band could park the fully loaded transit van on it without harming the pedal at all. Rather than the more common 'rack and pinion' drive this uses a sort or swivelling lever which gives a wider range to the pedal which is nice as is being able to adjust how freely the pedal moves. Has tuner and expression bedap outs too so plenty of flexibility, just check the size if you want to put it on a pedalboard.
