Any Ideas on mounting this pedal to a 80ish Super Pro?
Is there anyone making an adaper?
I'm a beginner, but I already hate chasing my volume pedal around!

| That's a good volume pedal, my favorite. You need to drill three holes in the pedalboard though. One on the top for the pin to go through, and two in the bottom which you'll need to attach little metal platforms for the rubber feet to stand on. It's pretty easy to do. |

No need to drill holes in the pedalboard.
Years ago I made an adapter from a piece of aluminum U-channel.
It had the hole and platforms as Brett described.
And it was bolted to the pedalboard with bolts. The heads of the bolts fitted in the extruded channel inside the pedalboard, so the whole contraption could be adjusted to the left or the right.

Any pics of your invention? Can you make another?  |

Can the pedal be turned in to foot angle? |

Yes it can, in exactly the same way that the original hole-and-platforms system works on an Emmons pedal bar.
The pedal turns on the pin-and-hole pivot point, while the 2 feet of the pedal rest on the 2 little platforms. Use the same size platforms as the Emmons platforms. If not, the feet might fall off the platforms. Get all sizes from an Emmons setup, you'll be fine. |

I,m sorry. I will re-phrase my previous post:
You can get all sizes from your Emmons pedal.
That is your pedal in the picture, isn't it?
You can measure where the hole goes and where the feet are.
If you would use Bretts idea, you need to do exactly the same.
Unfortunately I do not have my adapter anymore. |

The better "mouse trap" simple but ergonomically friendly, I love it. I'll have one tommorow, that is just what I needed. Tired of chasing mine around also.  |
