Noisy in use. I don’t recommend this one

7 years ago

Mine broke after a few months, now the minimum volume doesn't get to zero. I am using it as a foot support.

I bought it as my first volume pedal, to do some volume swells and soften the distortion in some passages. It worked nicely in the start and I really liked it, although it altered the sound a bit. Then it broke and I decided to buy a reall and sturdy volume pedal from Morley, and it is much better!

The only positive side was that it was fun while it lasted and with it I discovered that I like volume pedals!

Worked well until it broke within 6 months

This Lead Foot LFV-1 volume pedal is very cheap and you get what you pay for I suppose. It was around £10-15 at the time that I purchased it, so its nowhere near the price of something like an Ernie Ball volume pedal which is close to £100. So its to be expected that it will not give you as good an experience as the more expensive volume pedals out there.

I have owned 2 of these pedals over the last few years before upgrading to an Ernie Ball volume pedal which I currently use. The arc of the volume pedal is fine and goes from silent to full volume as far as I can tell. The reason I owned 2 of these pedals was because 6 months into owning the first 1 the potentiometer gear snapped, and my band mate had a spare lead foot volume pedal that he wasn't using and gave it to me. The same thing happened with the 2nd volume pedal. I didn't even use much force with it so I don't think it was anything I was doing, its just a cheaply made product - which works fine if it doesn't break!

It does what the box says. Raise and lower the volume. But the sensitivity is weird, and mine broke after maybe 10 rehearsals or so. Considering a proper volume pedal could be had for the twice the money I would recommend getting one of those anyway.

Horrible!

I've been using various Lead Foot products over the years, so when I bought this, I expected something that's qualitywise at least acceptable. All from it!

The whole pedal feels clunky and tinny. The actual shifting of the volume doesn't happen gently but in large bits. From 0 to 5 and in a few slow bursts to 10.

That's fine though if you're only using it as a "stable" volume controller. But as an effect, it's not worth your money. Don't bother.
