The ZB pedal is the lowest I've seen. Good luck finding one though.

| I had a Dekley Low-Boy once, it was really low profile, and worked great. Not sure where you'd find one of those either. |

Brad-
I have an old ZB, and it's low, that's what I am hoping for... but it's a geared pot, meaning... you can set it so that it's not silent at the back, or so that it's full-folume at the front, but not both!
So, was there a ZB string pedal with the same shape?

| The Dekley was the lowest I remember. I have a couple of the low profile Goodrich pedals - one active and one passive and they're low enough for me and I like 'em low. Plus they're readily available and real well made. -MJ- |

My ZB pedal has a gear like a Wah pedal. Real low profile and real long travel.

The string pedals do that too, to a small extent. I like them to go to zero volume, and if they are a few dB short when you put your toes down that is no problem since you can set the amp gain as you like it. Signal-to-noise wouldn't be any worse unless you are picking up noise in the cable between pedal and amp (not likeley).

The Dekley pedal uses a string, and I'd guess it's about 2/3 the height of my Goodrich L10K, barely taller than the diameter of the pot.
