  1. good god' date=' its just a bit of fun, why is there so many negative people on this website, does it make you all feel big to make fun of others across an internet forum???[/quote']

    it was not my intention to make fun of others, and i apologise if i've offended anyone.

  2. An easy build if you know which end of a soldering iron to hold

    Have a look at how its wired in a guitar' date=' and that will show you basically how the pot is wired, then stick that in a true bypass loop (schematics of both are easy to find)

    sounds good to me, cheers.

  3. Eh? So u want your distortion to be quieter than ur clean?? I usually set it up so that i don't have to change any settings on the guitars tone/volume controls and that the pedals eq/volume are pre-set so as to compensate for any volume dip/ feedback issues.

    Or have i caught the wrong end of the wicket here' date=' you're a bit vague.... sounds like you need a distortion pedal with an eq to me, maybe something like an ibanez tubescreamer would be more use?[/quote']

    aye, you've got the wrong end of the stick completely.

    Thats is exactly what the award session pedal does. Its entirely passive (apart from the status LED) and cuts the volume when you engage it. When you switch it to SOLO' date=' you're actually disengaging the unit. I don't think there should be any problems using it in your input chain rather than effects loop. As it is passive and has no buffer I don't think there should be any impedence issues but someone who knows more (ie anything) about electronics might correct me about this.[/quote']

    ah right, the description on the website wasnt very clear. it seems to be what im after though, cheers

  4. not exactly like that. i dont need to boost anything, and i dont have an effects loop so that pedal wouldnt be much use. i need to get a clean(ish) sound from a one-channel valve amp. the changes from clean(ish) to distortion are be very quick so i dont have time to turn volume pots on my guitar up and down. i want to set the pedal so that when its on, it lowers the volume

  5. i want a volume pedal thats just a box with one knob and a footswitch, not one that looks like a wah pedal. im guessing it wouldnt be too hard to build one myself.what i want to know is what goes inside. just a pot and a switch? or anything else? surely one of you bright people will know
