[sdiy] ernie ball pedal

[harry]

The MOOG model ? 1120 Control Voltage pedal used a 25K pot as well.
It was made by DeArmond.

I trashed mine to make a HiHat pedal... then saw they were going for big
bucks on
ebay...

I'm an idiot  (actually, screw vintage... I use it every session, NOT like
when it
was a CV pedal... hack 'em boys...;^)
