Guitar Volume Pedal - that responds to MIDI CC

Postby jkhuri44 » Sat Oct 25, 2008 11:06 am

hey guys..

im wondering how possible it is to tweak a good hi fi volume pedal for guitar (ie. one that doesnt f**k your guitar tone).

and make the volume change from the signal generated by a MIDI breath controller registering as MIDI (CC2)

rather than by moving a pot by foot...no diigtal conversion wanted, just MIDI control of a completely analog signal...

....


The other question is...does this already exist??

JK,
A mate and I did this when we had our big motherf#*^er guitar racks a few yrs back.
Use a low impedance volume pedal e.g Roland / Boss FV 300L or the Ernie Ball 6166
If you need anymore info, give me a call mate..
I can give you Chris number and you can ask him about it (he was the technical dude!!)
