1620 Dual Volume Pedal
The DeArmond 1620 Dual Volume Pedal is a classic treadle-style volume control that's as much a piece of guitar history as it is a practical tool for modern players. Designed in the golden age of electric guitar, this pedal harks back to a time when the ability to swell and fade your sound was a true showstopper. Unlike basic on/off volume pedals, the 1620 gives you precise, continuous control over your signal. Simply press down on the sturdy, full-size treadle and watch your tone bloom, then ease off to gradually roll it back. It's an immensely expressive effect that lets you shape your sound in real-time, perfect for emotive lead lines, swelling chords, or dynamically controlling your overall volume. But the 1620's party trick is its dual control - two independent treadles allow you to blend two signals at once. Plug in a clean and a distorted amp, for instance, and use the treadles to seamlessly transition between them. Or send one signal to your main amp and the other to an effects loop, letting you control the wet/dry mix. The creative potential is endless. With its rugged all-metal construction and timeless aesthetic, the 1620 is a pedal that's built to last. It's no wonder this vintage volume control has found its way onto the pedalboards of icons like Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, who relied on its expressive capabilities to elevate their legendary guitar work.
