BOSS FV-500H Volume-Pedal

Built like a tank. Great adjustable action and seems bombproof

Excellent pedal for my home made lap steel slide guitar... Thanks PMT

This volume pedal for me was perfect. I use it after all my effects for volume in musical theatre and it works fantastically, however I have also experimented with it before pedals and you can use it to take more or less effect from a pedal too. Great great pedal

Fantastic volume pedal, good gradual volume curve with the option to adjust the minimum volume. Works fantastically for ambient swells and other similar tasks. Feels very sturdy and well constructed, and the adjustable torque is a useful feature (although I've yet to use it as it's already set in a way that feels comfortable) I would replace it if lost.

I'm going to make this very simple. It is very robust and does what it says it should do. I have two quibbles however that detracts from a 5 star rating. 1. No matter where in the chain I placed it (I use buffers), on low volume settings, all the top end disappears from the tone. 2. I love the idea of a separate control to set the minimum volume level, however I strongly believe it needs a wider range. It appears to have a "maximum" minimum volume (if that makes sense?) of about half. This is exactly the point at which all the tone is sacrificed. For players who simply want a slightly lower rhythm volume and therefore to use the pedal like a "boost" to help leads cut through, a lot of finesse is required in getting the pedal to exactly the right angle. Had they allowed the minimum volume control cover the full range of the pedal, it would be much improved.
