Howdy, On this volume pedal. Is it possible to mount a ganged pot in it? Is there enough room? A guy could do stereo volume, flick a switch, do foot crosspanning, etc. It sounds exciting. At $25 a pop, it sure beats the $60 or so Ernie Balls. A litle soldering and so many possibilities. rig --- Mech <mech@m3ch.net> wrote: > At 4:35 PM +0000 11/7/07, andy butler wrote: > >I took a risk and ordered 4 of these for the new > Gordius Midi controller. > >Well, at only £25 I was expecting something that > would work well enough, > >and be suitably light in weight.(that's about $50). > > > >Can be used as expression pedal, or swell pedal > (vol controller). > > I've had one of these for around a year, but have > only used it as a volume controller. > > I pretty much agree with everything andy has > mentioned, and would add the following: > > Likes: > Passive electronics, no battery required > > Wider than your standard pedal.
