Mono Volume Pedal

Ideal for guitars

It is not without reason that the pedals of the Lead Foot series are among the bestsellers at Thomann. A more inexpensive guitar volume pedal is difficult to find. Nonetheless, the Lead Foot LFV is well-made and the plastic pedal can really withstand a great deal. People who need a volume pedal - but simply don't want to spend too much money on one - can't go wrong with this one.

A solid volume pedal with an unbeatable price

Robert Peterson 30.08.2020

I'd read several "reviews" that complained about the pedal's build quality/longevity but I've found no basis to agree with those opinions. I've stomped on this thing and adjusted the volumes with the same gusto as any volume/wah pedal I've ever owned and this thing takes it all in stride, never failing to work as intended.
I've also read people's complaints about the volume pot being "scratchy" but I've had zero experience with this problem on this pedal. Even if this thing exploded into 1000 chunks, the low price means I'd just buy another LFV-1.

Lead Foot LFV-1

António 19.01.2014

I bought this pedal to use it as a volume pedal but, for this price, this is a must buy for DIY enthusiasts. Out of the box, it works well, but the plastic box dos not provide shielding, so, it is sensible to RF interference. I solved it covering the inside with Aluminium duct tape connected to ground, and it worked perfectly.
This pedal may be modded to use as expression pedal, or even Wha Wha enclosure box. Although it is made of plastic, it is rough enough. The stock pot is a standard 16mm body diameter, knurled 6mm shaft with 100K, which is not the best for extreme use, bot it is very cheap to replace or inprove.

Worked well until it broke within 6 months

This Lead Foot LFV-1 volume pedal is very cheap and you get what you pay for I suppose. It was around £10-15 at the time that I purchased it, so its nowhere near the price of something like an Ernie Ball volume pedal which is close to £100. So its to be expected that it will not give you as good an experience as the more expensive volume pedals out there.

I have owned 2 of these pedals over the last few years before upgrading to an Ernie Ball volume pedal which I currently use. The arc of the volume pedal is fine and goes from silent to full volume as far as I can tell. The reason I owned 2 of these pedals was because 6 months into owning the first 1 the potentiometer gear snapped, and my band mate had a spare lead foot volume pedal that he wasn't using and gave it to me. The same thing happened with the 2nd volume pedal. I didn't even use much force with it so I don't think it was anything I was doing, its just a cheaply made product - which works fine if it doesn't break!

Report

Horrible!

A_S 15.09.2013

I've been using various Lead Foot products over the years, so when I bought this, I expected something that's qualitywise at least acceptable. All from it!

The whole pedal feels clunky and tinny. The actual shifting of the volume doesn't happen gently but in large bits. From 0 to 5 and in a few slow bursts to 10.

That's fine though if you're only using it as a "stable" volume controller. But as an effect, it's not worth your money. Don't bother.
