Number 5 sounds like a homemade Miku pedal.
wow. who would have thought a video about volume pedals can be amazing.
Haha! I gave my best. Thanks a lot! Király vagy 🤘
Point # 3 is the absolute best reason to have a Volume pedal. I can’t play my rig anymore without one, I loose so much dynamic tonal control without it. Thank you for making this important point Kris.
its a natural choice with the delay Kris , you have to buy shoes to
avoid splinters if you use the plank link for wah / vol 😊👍🦶
I know, I need shoes finally. But I keep on spending all my money on guitar stuff… 😂
Number 5 is amazing! I think it could be made more easily by replacing the wah for a envelope filter, though.
As always, quality video on a subject that many take for granted.
Keep it up, Kris.
Well done! Thanks!!!! #6 did it for me,
cool stuff, thanks Kris !
Awesome stickers Kris! :-)
I really enjoyed the country style licks and bends but it all sounded really great.
Hajrá, így tovább!
Hadn't thought much about volume pedal uses Kris ? That's really very cool.
i've always just used the volume knob, but have been thinking of grabbing a volume pedal lately. thanks for the tips, also, great socks
Time for me to get one. Sweet sweet sounds. Thank you Kris.
😅 Thanks, I learned to pronounce it after this video came out. It was a little too late but at least now I know it. Haha! Cheers
Thanks for this. I have not used a volume pedal before, but think I need to get one now 😉
So simple, so versatile and awesome... :D
Leave all that, I love that tele more than my Lesplaul, Sssshhhh you didn't heard anything.
Amazing content man, definitely got to learn something.
Great video! I wonder how many pedal companies are trying to build a wah/volume all-in-one pedal immediately after watching this! It sounded really cool
Great playing as always 👌 #5 sound reminds of the type of sound, Jeff Beck gets with his talk-box.
You’re right, it does sound like that a little bit. Haha! I love how weird filtery it sounds.
Got a pedal in February going to try this later thanks you Kris
Love the socks kris mine have emoji turds on . I’m obviously a classy guy lol
Thank you for the video.
Question
If I would like to pup Volume pedal right after my OD/Distortion which Volume pedal should I choose: high or low impedance one?
Thanks
Socks or bare feet make using volume and expression pedals easier,- you can do some pretty tricky things with a little practice.
Something about foot pedal control has always appealed to me, - maybe from piano & organ, -and I tend to check out effects that offer that option.
Volume & Wah, - EHX original Cockfight , Supro Boost, and a Dual Expression Pedal.
There are a huge number of possibilities barely explored with simple volume and expression pedal set ups; I find because of basic " toe tap" to keep time, that it usually comes easily and naturally to manage even complicated moves this way.I have a volume after my " dry" (dirt) board , before the amp, and a second before the wet( modulations,) - this way , I can control all volumes and swells from the board.Swells work better with a drive or compressor before the volume pedal, anyway.It is nice to control gain via a volume pedal, but it can be problematic, depending on the set up.
No 2 swells all most like trimo country steel slide guitar effects I have the new Earnie ball Jr. With built in tunner on one of My peddel boards.Great TH-cam video You frequency ranges volume tones really sound good in video I'm at moment on My Cool pad phone with out head phones they in My studio so I have speaker on Cool pad phone Your sounds sound real clear great volume.I play Old Hyms all the new contempary /Worship music so don't care much for to hear loud and distorted sounds but You have Your volume frequency's real great to listen to Your videos in case You wondering how Your videos sound on cell phones I have large Cool pad phone and speaker is real good in this phone.Thank You: You and Yours be more blessed.
Hmmm....very nice. Im used to play with volume knob. What pots can resist? I changed 1 fender amd 2 CTS's already: maybe first soldering overheated... But 2nd and 3rd sure not. 3rd after 2.5 months started to make noise...500k for passive pickups
VLC cone logo spotted ... out of nowhere :D ... #6 is oodles of shoooooogaze.
Hello Kris. Id like to steal bit of your mind ;). I find out, that Im dearly missing "tweed" sound with my pedals. Im almost got Mad Professor Little tweedy drive, but then found good deal on Keeley Super Phat mod. I know that SPM is not directly tweed style amp in a box, but it is created after BD2, what is very much Fender type preamp circuit. Also I remeber hearing this pedals in some of your vids, where it works heavenly and also produced that type of dirt, that Im looking for. But found some reviews, that stated, this pedal is not good as a preamp in front of clean pedal platform, but more to push already driven amp. Any thoughts of yours? Thank you ;)
the sound you are getting with th LP JR is astonishing! Is it the Walrus Ages in front of the REVV?
Thanks man! It’s the Xotic Super Clean boost into Walrus Ages into the clean channel of the REVV. It’s such a massive sound, isn’t it. 🤘
Kris Barocsi absolutely massive! Thanks for the infos Kris 👍
I love your socks 😍
Great video! Wanted to ask for some help, at the 5:45min mark, I’m trying to achieve this clean to overdrive sound using my volume pedal. I have a Boss Bd-2 Overdrive>Boss Fv-500H Volume pedal>Boss Delay DDT-6, then into my amp. With the volume pedal in the off position (heels down), I’m not getting a clean sound. I have no sound. And when I increase the pedal, I hear overdrive and delay. So basically, the volume pedal is working like a volume knob and not letting me increase/decrease overdrive even through the volume pedal is placed right after my overdrive pedal. Any advice on what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!
1. Volume pedals in heels down position are always "off". Volume pedals ARE essentially volume knobs!
2. However, the FV-500H has a "min volume" knob at the side of the pedal. You can use it to get a low volume in heels position (rather than dead silence).
For using with a delay pedal should volume pedal be before or after the delay?
I prefer the volume pedal before the delay. That way the repeats are not affected by the volume pedal.
Thanks
When using a lot of gain and/or drive pedals, does this volume pedal go totally quiet in the heel down position??? No signal bleeding through?
Ive been through a handful of volume pedals and sent them all back because there is signal bleed when I have my gain and master way up and just want to mute my signal for tuning or something. It’s infuriating really. I run a dirty Dual Rec pushed with a TS and thats enough output from the amp to still hear a faint clean guitar coming through while the volume pedal is turned down. I really want to find a quality volume pedal circuit that doesn’t have this issue.
Hey, there’s no volume bleed in the heel down position of this Xotic. Just please don’t forget, that this is a 250k volume pedal. This means, that if you’re using it with humbucker loaded guitars (which use 500k pots) you will lose a little bit of presence. Unless you’re using it in the amp‘s fx loop of course. If you want to have a volume pedal as the first pedal on your board and play primarily humbuckers, get a 500k volume pedal. Cheers
I like mine in the efx loop just before the dly/reverb stuff!
Another important detail is to Label your gear inside and out with something permanent like a diamond tip etching pen or a black light pen that grubby thieves won’t immediately remove before selling 🤬
Poo Ninja Yeah man, should’ve done that. It’s one of those „bad musician habits“ to grab a beer after the show and leave your gear on stage. That’s when things happen sometimes. This is surely not the kind of theft Robin Hood would approve. 🤷♂️
Yea but if Henning hadn’t got his gear pilfered I may have never found all of y’all... thanks Glenn Fricker for your Henning’s a dumbass video
Poo Ninja Glenn’s the man. And Henning’s a dumbass. 💛😂
I forgot even the thumbnail was funny 😆 th-cam.com/video/N0139yzrgK4/w-d-xo.html
#6 was my clear winner... BUT... when the mad scientist broke out on #5? Well that was genius! Be well man and I hope your “condition” clears. **cough**.
Cool tips as always Kris! Be careful with the pronunciation of 'impedance'!
It's /ɪmˈpiːdəns/ - stress on the second syllable, vowel sound the same as the verb 'impede'.
It kind of matters, because if you get it wrong it sounds more like 'impotence' - which has the stress on the first syllable.
I await the Hungarian lesson that you now owe me. ;)
Vor 8 Jahren war ich Mal dein Gitarren schüler
I use my guitar volume knob to control gain of OD or fuzz. I use my volume pedal after my OD's and buffered EQ but before my delays and reverbs for killer ambient swells and horny whale songs.
I'm not sure I want high impotence 😁👍
Chris James yeah you’re right. What was I even thinking? 😂
@@KrisBarocsi seriously though, awesome video dude! Volume and wah together sounds great.
Kris Barocsi , I understand English is not your first language. I'm 68yr. Old and don't need any more impotence!
try to wear a pair of shoes...😂
Em peed e ns....don't you just love the English language?
