Re: Reverse volume pedal

[Doug Lawrence <dlawren@pacbell.net>]

There is the Snarling Dogs pedal called the Erogenous Moan that seems to do
something like this:

>From their web site:

Although the Erogenous Moan is housed in the same 6 lb die-cast case with
foot-shaped footpad and lit eyes, it is not a wah pedal, but a
volume/reverse volume pedal. You can use the Erogenous moan as a straight
volume pedal. (Unlike most volume pedals, the Erogenous Moan adds a slight
bit of boost when the straight volume feature is activated.) But the main
feature of the Erogenous Moan is that, when the Erogenous Moan feature is
activated, the following occurs: Pushing down on the footpad causes the
volume to swell (as it does in the straight volume mode). However, at the
end of the sweep - with the footpad depressed all the way down, the volume
cuts off completely. Then, as you reverse the process by bringing the
footpad back up, the volume kicks in, and swells again. At the top of the
sweep, the volume cuts off with a simulated click of a guitar pick. You
control the effect in real time. This is a unique pedal that enables you to
achieve an absolutely haunting effect.
