1600 Volume Pedal
The DeArmond 1600 Volume Pedal is a classic treadle-style volume control that puts expressive, dynamic volume swells right at your feet. Beloved by guitarists from the 1960s through today, this simple but ingenious effect allows you to seamlessly swell in and out of notes, create dramatic fade-ins and fade-outs, and precisely control your overall volume without ever taking your hands off the strings. What makes the 1600 so special is its smooth, responsive treadle action and high-quality internal components. The all-metal construction ensures rock-solid stability, while the precision potentiometer delivers a wide, continuous sweep of volume control. This allows you to make nuanced, gradual volume changes that feel natural and intuitive, unlike the abrupt, stepped volume changes of many lesser volume pedals. The 1600's compact, pedalboard-friendly design and true-bypass circuitry also make it a versatile addition to any rig. Legendary guitarists like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton famously used volume pedals like this to shape their iconic tones, and the 1600 can lend that same expressive, dynamic control to your playing. Whether you're looking to add subtle volume swells, dramatic fades, or everything in between, the DeArmond 1600 is a volume pedal that delivers the goods.
