AVP-1 | Active Volume Pedal

Turn down for what?

If you think volume pedals come a dime-a-dozen... you're right. That's why we wanted to up the game on the volume pedal, but keep the cost low. Two things that set the CNZ AVP-1 apart are the Magnetic Responsive Potentiometer (Mag-Pot) and the Independent Level Threshold Knobs. The Mag-Pot helps the pedal move fluidly and avoids the glitches and mechanical wear of traditional volume pedals. The Independent Level Threshold Knobs let you set your Minimum & Maximum levels so you can make your pedal adjustments as subtle or drastic as you'd like. There is a lot to love about this pedal, like a second Fixed Gain Output (for loops or tuners, etc.), 9V plug or 9V battery capabilities, and more. It just goes to show that volume pedals can be both utilitarian and artistic at the same time.

Detailed Operation

The CNZ Active Volume Guitar Effects Pedal has a single ¼ inch input and two ¼ inch outputs. The Volume Pedal’s output signal is controlled by the Min and Max Volume Controls, with the Max control having the ability to add a boost to your signal. The Fixed Gain Output is a Bypass Mode and can be used for a separate loop or for a Tuner Pedal. Power is provided through a 9VDC connection or a battery compartment located on the bottom of the pedal.

The Patent Pending, Non-Contact, Magnetic Responsive Potentiometer is a GAME CHANGER! It creates a smooth, effortless glide over a full range of volume. The Magnetic Pot eliminates glitchy movements, mechanical wear and failure of mechanical potentiometers used by other pedals. Noise free, maintenance free, grease free, mechanical failure free! This pedal is going to last!

Two Level Adjustment Knobs Control the Minimum and Maximum Volume Separately, and can add a Boost. The Minimum knob turned to the left gives you a muted signal when the pedal is in the back position. When the Maximum knob is set at the center, the output volume will be the same as the input volume. Any setting above center provides a Boost Effect on your signal. How sweet is that?

The Robust Steel Housing has strong corners, a double steel base, rigid joints, great connections and sturdy, weighted knobs. This pedal is going to hold up under intense heavy footed guitarists as well as over-zealous volume controllers. The Raised Diamond Plate Pattern Hard Rubber Foot Pad provides a firm, non-slip surface for any shoe to have a firm grip on your Volume Control. Inspire Your Music with CNZ Audio!
