This unit is simply a Volume pedal, no more, no less. There is no need for computer editing as this is strictly and Audio piece of gear. This is completely analog with a small potentiometer that regulates the volume envelope. This is strictly Analog, no digital required. The unit comes with one 1/4" input and two 1/4" outputs. They are not stereo ouputs by the way, in fact the other is a "copy" of the first output designed to feed a Tuner pedal/device. I have used the tuner output before as a second audio path and noticed no inferior sound quality so I believe you could use this feature if needed. It is not rackable in any traditional sense.

UTILIZATION

This pedal does not come with any extra control options like you would find on some other volume pedals. Just volume control. The setup is as simple as pluggin in your instrument into one end and the other into your amp/speaker. I have never referenced a manual nor could ever see needing one.

SOUND QUALITY

I use this pedal at the start of my AUX1 effects loop. This way I can adjust the aux channel on the mixer but not actually feed signal into the effects chain until I operate this volume pedal. It comes in very handy as my mixer is too far away from my gear to operate. I have never noticed any degradation to audio signal with one exception, DUST. When the pedal is completely backed off, the innards are exposed and if left in this position, dust can easily get in there and cause some issues. A good cleaning is usually all that is needed, but it is a pain when you experience it in a live situation.

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about this pedal is it is very sturdy and offers a good amount of resistance so you have very accurate control over your volume. I really like to use this with my Rhodes to get some nice volume pad sounds and this pedal doesn't disappoint, very sturdy and accurate. I got this used for $50 and I am very happy with it. If for some reason the innards get messed up, the body of the pedal will most likely last for ever and the insides can be replaced relatively cheaply. I have used the Korg xvp 10 which is a stereo pedal. I plan on buying the stereo version of this pedal to replace the korg soon. Yes, I definitely recommend this pedal to everyone in need of a dependable, sturdy volume pedal.
