that small Moyo volume pedal with tuner out

I've had one of these pedals for about six weeks. At first I used it only at home, and was surprised at how "normal" it felt. (I wear size 12, btw.) Lately I've been keeping it in my pack seat as a spare. It got the acid test recently when I brought my Carter steel to a gig, but forgot that I still had my Emmons pedal packed in my seat. I had to use the wee Moyo for the entire gig, and I can honestly say that the whole time I was playing I never gave it a thought. It's that good. I'm thinking of getting another one.

Very cool idea. Nice and easy to carry for console or lap steel gigs too.
Ok, I have to ask. Looks like you have done a great job fitting a lot into a little space. Any chance you could make a lefty?
Basically jacks on the opposite side to clear the 8th pedal on a D10. If so I'll take one. I have tried angled cords etc. Some don't clear the pedal on a Goodrich L or H. Straight jacks get stepped on. The plight of a lefty.

I too have one of these pedals, for a few weeks now, it is nothing but great. As previous posters already reported it took no time to get used to. In fact, I prefer the "feel" of it over my Goodrich. I do occasionally play barefoot at home, size 10, it is OK, no problem.
It looks real sharp and the size is nothing but a plus to me. If I want to go really light I can even stuff the MOYO in the leg bag compartment in my guitar case without squeezing.
Also, Glenn was super nice to deal with.

Great pedal!
In the case with my Deluxe 8. Amazing! It is a great pedal, barefoot or not! I had to adjust the string (wouldn't shut all the way off), easy job with the pot on the end. Love it! I use the steel standing sometimes and the pedal is great. Can't say enough good about it. Thanks Glenn!![br]

After experimenting, I ordered a second one to use as an expression pedal for my GT001 effects unit. Depending on the effect I have chosen, it controls the amount of reverb, the leslie speed, or a wah-wah. The expression pedal is supposed to be a 10k linear pot, but I made a cord to fool my effects unit, and I'm using the Moyo pedal as shipped - so I have a spare too. Here's a pic of the pedals, and a pic of the cord to fool my effects unit. I cut rectangular holes in a mouse pad to hold the pedals in place.
Franklin D10 8&5, Excel D10 8&5, homemade buffer/overdrive, Moyo pedal, GT-001 effects, 2x BAM200 for stereo. 2x GW8003 8" driver in homemade closed-box. Also NV400 etc. etc...

Hi Glenn:
Look what I did with mine! My second one is on my upstairs steel for now.

Thank you all for the positive comments. Regarding potentiometer replacement: yes it might seem a little complicated. But it is not too difficult, and it is possible to do it without replacing or having to re-attach the string. I have not yet written up a step-by-step for that, and I am going to wait until there is an actual need for it. I have yet to wear out one of those Dunlop pots; they are amazing. And the string on the pedal I use shows no wear.

Just adding my 50 cents: I bought one to fit into a 'travel kit' pedal board I'm building--I have a quick tour coming up that involves a bunch of small flights that would charge a lot to check a bag or pedal board in a flight case. The Moyo was the perfect answer--weighs about 1/3 of a EB VP Jr. I really enjoy using it as well. Thanks Glenn!

Pedal with tuner output
The pedal is now available with a tuner output, which is a 1 meg resistor from the input to the tuner out jack. Works well.

I sure like the looks of that pedal but I'd want two outputs just because it's practical to have one just for your tuner or even two amps. I have a Franklin stereo pedal with one input and three outputs. I can run two amps and a tuner or a recorder or anything I want because I have options but two is enough. Anything to make it lighter, I'm for it!

There is no space for a fourth 1/4 " jack in the pedal. If you really wanted two outputs rather than the tuner out, Glenn could move he tuner line to the output and leave out the resistor when he builds the pedal.
A more simple solution would be to make a Y splitter cable for use when you really need two outputs and keep the tuner output.

Mr. Taylor, is there any chance of you offering your pedal as an expression pedal?Glenn Demichele wrote:After experimenting, I ordered a second one to use as an expression pedal for my GT001 effects unit.

I have built one as a dedicated expression pedal. It should be somewhat less expensive with a cheaper pot.
