Hi Steve- You asked the right guy. Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you on this, but I've kinda busy lately. If your pedal has the quick-connect potentiometer leads, you can try just flipping the connector around where it connects to the circuit board. The problem here is that the pot's taper isn't really ideal for this situation, so it probably will give you an abrupt cutoff at the end. It's easy to try, however - just two screws. While you're in there, also try flipping the contour switch to see if it helps any. Your best bet is to either turn the pedal around backwards and operate it that way, or to press with your toe on the rear of the pedal to fade out. You can switch the string around like Mr. Fowler suggested; however, other than being a major pain in the ass to do, it will shorten the life of your potentiometer since the pulley system is Engineered (that's a word I like to use around here) to equalize out most of what would otherwise be bending forces tweaking the pot's shaft. A pan pedal would also work well as suggested, however I'm guessing that you already have a mono pedal and don't want to blow another $150 or whatever those things cost these days. You other avenue is to try to locate a pot with a reverse taper to swap with the one that's in there now. Good luck and let me know what works best, -Hans SRice wrote: > > Greetings, > > This may be a silly question, but can a EB volume pedal be > modified to act as fader?
