Too Controversial To Have An Athleisure Line
Just got a Dunlop mini volume pedal for use with my HX Stomp-based board.
I thought it had adjustable minimum volume, but it turns out the internal trim pot only affects the pedal in expression mode, not volume mode. Back it goes (unless I can jury-rig it).
The question is, does anyone make a small footprint, passive (no battery), straight-up volume pedal with an adjustable minimum volume?
 
@micwalt Is there an option for your HX stomp to use an expression pedal for a clean boost /volume? At that point you could turn different min/max limits on!

Can't do it. This is where the limitations of the Stomp come into play. I'm already using the EXP/FS4&5 jack for a two-button footswitch to scroll through presets while I use the three buttons on the Stomp to change snapshots. Plus, it would use up an extra effect block, and there are only six available per preset on the Stomp.
I think I'll just fashion a physical barrier to keep the pedal from going all the way back. It'll look kinda ghetto, but it'll get the job done.

Something threaded so you can adjust the stop height... and then put pipe tape in the threads so it doesn't unintentionally change just from vibration.

If there's no room in the device, attach the pedal to a base with a stop wedge that moves inward or outward based on where you turn the screw. :helper:

You may be right, but I'm not sure why that would be.

Are you using the volume pedal for swells or just volume changes between A and B?

If so it would be a breeze to just fashion a volume pot and footswitch into a box on the cheap. Or use an EQ pedal.

Usually between A and B, but it would sound weird to just drop to the B volume--it needs to be a smooth decay. Also, the option for swells is nice.

There is actually plenty of room to do this, but it might be tricky to position a drill under the rocker portion to make it work. But if I can get the angle right, a drill, the right bit, and a self-tapping screw would be all I need.
