Boss FV-500-H

Not much to add

It does what it is supposed to do. Only thing is that it is a massive and heavy pedal, so I am not bringing it anywhere. But I love to use it as an expression pedal.

Nice

Very simple , and it does the job , BE CAREFUL: not both models are suitable for guitar ,.. check the "compliance"

Great pedal

First of all it is very robust and it works really smooth. You will have that good mechanical feedback when you're using it.

Great Volume/Expression pedal

I used it for long time, it's not affecting the Tone!

Good expression/volume pedal

Been using it for a few months now and it's a fine pedal is all I can say, only time will tell how the potetiometer lasts. There was a minor mechanical squeak when rocking the pedal at first, but a drop of silicone oil removed that instantly. I love the double functionality - you can use it also as an expression pedal. It's quite bulky, very sturdy, built like a tank, thus it's quite heavy (weighs almost 1,5 kgs) and I wouldn't recommend it for compact pedalboard solutions that you have to carry around yourself...

Built like a tank

I've used this pedal for 6 years now. No problems what so ever. The elegant looks are a bonus as well.

Glorified on-off pedal

I have no idea what the guys at boss were thinking when they designed this pedal... from zero to about 20% sweep the pedal does nothing. NOTHING. Then from 20% to 60% sweep it moves from zero volume to 100%... then from 60% to 100% it does nothing. Most of the sweep is wasted and you can't really get those cool swell effects as most of your foot movement does nothing.

Unless you want an on-off switch, buy a different pedal.

Great Volume Pedal

Really great design and quality, and moves smoothly. I like to make ambient sounds with it using my guitar with reverb.

Use this one as an Expression Pedal only

Very solid and easy to use expression pedal. Personaly I do not need a volume control and never used this product as a volume control pedal.

Perfect as expression pedal. Seems like it should survive even at Dillinger Escape Plan stage nuclear explosion-ish show ))

Real deal!

Big, elegant and sturdy pedal! Just use real professional cables with it! I don't like to turn off

the tone of my guitars from the killswitch or volume knob, I play metal and a volume pedal it's just ideal! It is mentaining the pure characteristics of the tone, so don't worry, just be sure that the level knob of it is setted to 0. Cheers!
