nikko18 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 So I don't know if this is real or not, It is just something that I thought of that I am assuming may have already been invented. What I am thinking of is a pedal like wah or volume pedal, one that you press back and forth with your foot except it controls distortion/overdrive/gain. The farther you press it forward the more gain you get. Does any one know if this exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCI Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 There have been fuzz/volume pedals but I don't know about a distortion/volume pedal. One thing you could do is get a volume pedal and run it in front of your favorite dirt pedal and that would control the amount of distortion just like your guitar's volume knob would.

Riffster Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 In a single pedal the closest thing is the Boss Dyna Drive, other version is the Modtone Dyno Drive. These pedals react to your picking more so than a usual overdrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:oilpit: Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Volume Knob This is correct... A regular old volume pedal would do the trick as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney1566 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I understand the difference between a volume and what you are thinking of. A volume works if distortion is already provided. You are wanting to go from clean at volume to distortion at similiar volume. I don't know of a pedal that can do that. I think they would have to time a pedal in such a way as to decrease volume as distortion increases. A little tricky maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikko18 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I should invent it then, even though I have very little knowledge about how to go about doing it xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 There is a way to do it.. kinda... What you need is two amps and a pan pedal. One amp is your distorted amp and one is clean (better if it's only kinda clean maybe). The pan pedal lets you pan between the two. You can go from all of one to all of the other and anything in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWP37 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hello. I'm new. Been observing for awhile though. Anyways you could hook this up to the gain knob on yer OD/Distortion pedal. Haven't tried one but it has a lot of possibilities. http://www.musictoyz.com/guitar/pedals/tip.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
