Instead of relying on a mechanical potentiometer like most volume pedals, the Lehle Mono Volume 90 volume pedal employs a magnetically controlled Blackmer VCA to give you amazingly precise control over your volume without any worries about wear and tear. Designed with pedal steel players in mind, the Mono Volume 90 treats your signal with maximum integrity ? your tone comes through exactly as intended across the entire range of the pedal's sweep. And it's easy to fine-tune the pedal's response, with adjustable minimum and maximum levels (with up to 12dB boost too!). If a volume pedal is a critical component of your guitar rig, then you'll definitely appreciate the precise operation and amazing durability the Lehle Mono Volume 90 offers.

Magnetically controlled VCA for long-term reliability





The Lehle Mono Volume 90 volume pedal uses a magnetic field to control your signal level ? that means no mechanical potentiometer to wear out. Your instrument's signal level is controlled by the control voltage generated by the magnetic sensor, which gives this pedal its extremely smooth and precise response.





Consistent impedance = consistent tone





The advanced design of the Mono Volume 90 pedal keeps the input and output impedances the same no matter where the pedal is set. That means that your tone will sound exactly as you intend throughout the sweep of the pedal, no loss of highs or blurring of mids.





Wide dynamic range





The volume control on the Mono Volume 90 pedal ranges from -92dB to 0dB, effectively ranging from a mute to unity gain. Players at Sweetwater are pleased to report that you can also add up to 12dB of boost to the top range of the sweep, allowing you to use the Mono Volume 90 for solo boosts as well. And thanks to the minimum volume control, you can set the minimum volume of the pedal anywhere from -92dB to 0dB.
