Evolution - Active Volume Pedal
The MBS Evolution Active Volume Pedal is a true hidden gem for the discerning guitarist. Hailing from the vibrant guitar effects scene of Buenos Aires, this pedal packs a punch far beyond its unassuming exterior. At its core, the Evolution is an active volume pedal, allowing you to seamlessly control your instrument's volume with a smooth, responsive treadle. But this is no ordinary volume pedal - it features a remarkably transparent, high-quality buffer circuit that can also function as a line driver. This means you can place the Evolution anywhere in your signal chain without fear of tone-sapping impedance issues, making it a versatile and indispensable tool. One of the Evolution's standout features is its dedicated, buffered tuner output. This allows you to connect your tuner without it being affected by volume changes, ensuring your intonation stays rock-solid during performance. Guitarists have been known to use this output to create unique dry/wet stereo setups, blending their direct sound with effects for lush, dynamic textures. While the Evolution may not boast the name recognition of some boutique pedals, its transparent, musical character has earned it a loyal following. Rumor has it that acclaimed session guitarist Nile Rodgers has been spotted using this Argentinian wonder on numerous recordings, testament to its professional-grade performance. For guitarists seeking a volume pedal that goes above and beyond, the MBS Evolution is a must-try.
