Swell!

This volume pedal works well. It is a bit light in weight but it functions well as a swell on my pedalboard. Due to its lightness it moves around a bit when I have it on the floor but velcro would sort that out.

Perfect for the money it costs

Ok, its plastic, its cheap but it does the job perfectly. If you use very often a volume pedal consider buying a more expensive one.

For the rest of us it does the job.

Doet wat hij moet doen.

Stevig gebouwd en kan tegen een stootje. Heeft al menig optreden en gebruik moeten doorstaan. Eenvoudige volumepedaal zonder franjes.

Outstanding value for money.

A solid volume pedal with an unbeatable price

I'd read several "reviews" that complained about the pedal's build quality/longevity but I've found no basis to agree with those opinions. I've stomped on this thing and adjusted the volumes with the same gusto as any volume/wah pedal I've ever owned and this thing takes it all in stride, never failing to work as intended.

I've also read people's complaints about the volume pot being "scratchy" but I've had zero experience with this problem on this pedal. Even if this thing exploded into 1000 chunks, the low price means I'd just buy another LFV-1.

kinda scratchy

it was a bit scratchy out of the box, but after some WD40 in the pot(literally 5 minutes of your time), sounds like a million bucks.

Amazing value for money

The pedal seems well built and has relatively good precision.

You cannot get a better volume pedal for this amount of money, you'd have to spend 5-10 times more to get one that is noticeably better.

Solid Product

Simple, easy, does what it is meant to.

No noticeable degradation of sound or tone. Action is smooth and comfortable, and generally a joy to use.

The sound you get while using it is exactly as you would hope it to sound. It doesn't sound bad, choppy or artificial in any way.

A cut above the big bad B brand, if you know what I mean.

Loud and soft!

wanted something to give me more dynamics with my violin as sometimes it was too loud over the vocalist in my band but other times not loud enough for solo melodys, this was just perfect for what I was looking for

Excellent

Great pedal, it works very well.

hard plastic. Metal probably costed much more, but for a normal use (at the end you have not to jump on it with a caterpillar), it's really great.

Dead simple

This volume pedal has a bit of stiffness to it that I appreciate. It's much easier to dial in exactly the right volume, as opposed to the floppy pedal that's on my effects board.

Good pedal for the money......WORKS!

THis pedal is a basic tool that does exactly what it says.

I use it to boost a guitar signal for soloing.

You cannot select the minimum and max settings but for this money that would be pushing it!!

Fine

Lead Foot LFV-1

I bought this pedal to use it as a volume pedal but, for this price, this is a must buy for DIY enthusiasts. Out of the box, it works well, but the plastic box dos not provide shielding, so, it is sensible to RF interference. I solved it covering the inside with Aluminium duct tape connected to ground, and it worked perfectly.

This pedal may be modded to use as expression pedal, or even Wha Wha enclosure box. Although it is made of plastic, it is rough enough. The stock pot is a standard 16mm body diameter, knurled 6mm shaft with 100K, which is not the best for extreme use, bot it is very cheap to replace or inprove.

simple and effective

I ended up using it in an unexpected way, just reducing the volume coming back from my Jamman into the amp. Long story...

Anyway, works great.
