Equipped with a newly developed full-rotation belt drive system! "DIRECT VOLUME" delivers high sound quality, high durability, and smooth volume control!! An ideal volume pedal requires high sound quality, high durability, and smooth, musical volume control. Direct Volume addresses the shortcomings of conventional volume pedals and incorporates a newly developed full-rotation belt-drive system to realize this ideal volume pedal. The Direct Volume pedal employs FREE THE TONE's unique full-rotation belt-drive system, which uses gears and a belt to rotate the variable resistor. Unlike conventional designs that use a string to rotate the variable resistor, this eliminates mechanical play in the variable resistor's rotation, resulting in smooth and linear volume changes in response to pedal operation. Furthermore, passive volume pedals have a problem where, even if the impedance of the equipment is matched, the variable resistor may not rotate all the way to the right when the pedal is pressed, resulting in an unusable range of rotation and a drop in the signal level when connected. The full-rotation belt-drive system is precisely designed so that the variable resistor rotates fully from minimum to maximum, solving this problem. The direct volume control minimizes tonal changes while achieving a musical sound. To this end, the best possible components are carefully selected for the signal path, and the volume curve is optimized. The enclosure housing these internal mechanisms is robustly designed to prevent issues such as distortion. We spent over two years developing this uncompromising, ideal volume pedal. Please give it a try. The DVL-1H is a high-impedance volume pedal. It is used by connecting it after devices with high output impedance, such as guitars/basses equipped with passive pickups, fuzz pedals, and vintage effects pedals.Condition: No problems with use.
