Electro-Harmonix Next Step Volume pedal

The EHX Volume Pedal is part of our innovative Next Step Effects series. It does not use a potentiometer, optics or magnetism to sweep the volume control. It delivers accurate and very expressive control over the volume of an instrument.

Features
- Direct & effect outputs with bypass level control 
- No moving parts 
- Ultra-rugged. No pots, footswitches or gears to break 
- Super responsive and expressive 
- Instantaneous bypass switching that is completely silent 
- Battery included, 9Volt power supply optional

The VOLUME pedal has no moving parts: it does not use a potentiometer, optics or magnetism to sweep the volume control. The result is a responsive pedal that allows precise control over the volume of your instrument.

GETTING STARTED
Plug your instrument into the INPUT jack; connect your amp to the OUTPUT jack. Within seconds the EHX logo in the center of the pedal will light. Your VOLUME pedal is now ready for use. Please note: as long as a plug is inserted into the INPUT jack, a drain is placed on the 9V battery inside the VOLUME pedal. We recommend you unplug the INPUT jack when the VOLUME pedal is not in use to extend battery life.

BYPASS VOLUME Control
The dial located on the input side of the VOLUME pedal controls the output volume when the pedal is in bypass mode. The bypass volume gets louder as the numbers increase on the dial.

DIRECT OUTPUT Jack
A buffered version of the input signal is sent out the DIRECT OUTPUT jack.  This output is unaffected by the position of the VOLUME pedal and remains identical to the signal present at the INPUT jack at all times.  The DIRECT OUTPUT is useful as a source for a tuner or as a way to split the input signal.

ENTERING/EXITING BYPASS
Toggle between buffered bypass and effect mode by tipping the VOLUME pedal forward, in the toe direction, past the flat position of the VOLUME pedal. You do not need to tip the VOLUME pedal all the way forward; 25% of the total forward travel will do it. The VOLUME pedal needs to return to its flat position before you can toggle between bypass and effect mode again.

When the VOLUME pedal is in effect mode, the EHX logo in the center of the pedal will light up. In bypass mode, the logo does not light.
