Moyo Volume Pedals

Post by Glenn Demichele »

They're not new, but I wanted to rave about them again. I just finished talking to Glenn Taylor about how great his pedals are. I have been using one for volume and one for expression since May 2016. I have S/N 007 and S/N 036, so I'm proud to say I got in on the ground floor.

I got one about two years ago and love it. Recently picked up another one pre-owned.

I just picked one up. Great pedal! I love the compact size and lower height compared to a standard volume pedal.

I bought one recently and have to say it's small, built like a rock, and, relative to my Hilton, tiny. I don't lean on my vol pedal a lot and I am very happy with this. There when you need it and not in the way when you don't. You can't adjust the throw so it's always on; all the way down is off unlike the adjustable Hilton or massively expensive Telonics, but it's a great pedal for the money.Highly recomended.

Does the volume start immediately or do you find a dead spot before it come on?

the trick is to make sure that your ankle is over the hinge on the pedal - if you put your toe on it, like you would on an effects pedal, it feels very awkward and volume moves in a funny way. With the middle of your foot on it, it feels very natural.

Again (for the 5th time!), I absolutely love mine. No dead spots, and yes, put the pedal in the arch of your foot with your toes hanging over the end with the pivot directly under your ankle, and that sucker becomes part of your foot.

I followed this same advice too, and can't be happier.
Size, weight, tone, functionality, etc, all perfect.
