Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Controller Pedals for the VFX

2004-04-01 by tim sullivan

any volume control pedal can be rewired quickly for VC
  i once took a stereo volume pedal and turned it into a pedal
that can do VC when i want and kept it working as a (mono) volume pedal 
(when i need)

all it takes is to put all 3 wires from a pot to a stereo 1/4 jack
(usually you replace the mono 1/4 jack on one side of a vol pedal)
if you dont trust what your doing
test it with the wires , pot and stereo jack in your hand
and test connections till to get it right(connected to the vfx VC input)
  then solder
