Looking for recommendations: volume pedal

[Confuzzled]

Looking for small volume pedals to run with some noise box synths so i can fade in & out and change effects. Mooer? Donner? I have a FX-17 but it weighs a ton. want to keep the board light.

Not as cheap, but maybe Boss FV-30L? I use the H version for guitar and it's light, sturdy, and the perfect size imo.

I was looking at something on amazon..sonic something… only $39. I’m thinking that this will be a desktop board something hand friendly. i have an old boss expression pedal with a tethered cord but even that’s too big.

I just got a Dunlop DVP3 and am a huge fan. Great build quality, smooth action, nice fade. Maybe the DVP5? What about the DOD Mini Volume? I have no personal experience but it is small, looks cool and people seem to really like it.

I dunno what the major purveyors of this style of big-knob expression controllers are:

Most use the tiny square Hammond enclosures with something like the 1.5” RadioShack “Communications Control knob” on the pot that they wire up. I’ve seen a few duals in 1590B enclosures, too. If you’re just using fingers, you can probably get more knobs and controls on an enclosure.

I have the Sonicake volume/expression pedal; it's hard to be super precise with it because it's so small, but it does the job.

This might be a better bet: sturdier and with what seems to be a better structural design than the Sonicake.Less than 2x the cost and surely more than 2x the quality:

If you need something small, the Dunlop DVP4 is really solid and feels nice to use by hand as well.

For table top/hand use you could do away with the treadle and save a chunk of change and weight.

You speak of multiples, have you considered a matrix mixer? A passive one is essentially a bunch of volume pedals pre-configured to interconnect, potentially streamlining on the fly set-up reconfigurations.

You two are talking expression pedals here, different than a volume pedal. Though you should be able to use an insert cable (TRS split to two TS) to perform through signal volume management with an expression circuit, sometimes the taper is not optimal.

In my mind, volume wants an input and an output, and simply uses the potentiometer as a voltage divider between the two.

Get the DOD one and put it in your pants.

Then you can lean into your tabletop to actuate the swell.

Change your angle and you can sweep back towards full volume.
Input cord runs up right pant leg and output cord runs down left pant leg.
Avoid right-angle plugs.

Or look for a used Source Audio Hot Hand.
