Well, the pedal itself is very sturdy, built from solid aluminum.

It’s not a technical or electronic limitation, or malfunction etc.īefore we get into how to fix it, you probably ask, why didn’t I return it? But, at least now I knew that the potentiometer inside can be adjusted. So, I looked here and there, and found out there is a remedy to this, but no explanation whatsoever on how to do it. It is more practical to use a pedal then messing with the guitar volume knob, although the pedal does take some time to get used to. In this way, you can never mute the guitar, you got minimum and maximum set.Īnyway, this was no good for me, cause I needed a volume pedal for mostly guitar effects, such as whaling sound (Mark Knopfler’sÂ “brothers in arms” for ex.) and so on. But, thinking about it again, maybe it’s how the manufacturer intended it to be, low volume for rhythm parts and then break into heavy parts with full volume. It’s kinda weird that the pedal does not fully do, the only thing it’s supposed to do – control the volume.įrom visiting a few forums I’ve learned that this is a known issue among people who bought it and most people were pretty disappointed. Let’s start at the end – this pedal has one “tiny” problem -it does not allow no volume at all, but rather the pedal starts from some volume (still, very audible, especially if distortion effect applied) to full. This article was meant to be a Dunlop volume pedal (GCB-80 is the model) review but as it turns out, it will be a how-to-fix-it manual as well…
