The Morley 20/20 Volume Plus is a compact volume pedal built on Morley's electro-optical design, replacing mechanical pots with an optical circuit for smooth, noise-free, wear-free volume control. It offers a musical, even taper across the treadle stroke and a foot-selectable minimum volume, letting players set a floor for swells and rhythm-to-lead level changes without fully cutting the signal. Morley's 20/20 buffer circuit preserves tone and prevents the high-end loss and volume drop common to passive volume pedals. Housed in a rugged, pedalboard-friendly, tank-like enclosure with glow-in-the-dark details for dark stages, it suits guitarists and bassists wanting reliable, transparent volume control, volume swells, and level switching in a durable, gig-ready unit free of scratchy pot noise.
The Pigtronix Gloamer is an all-analog polyphonic amplitude synthesizer that reshapes the attack and decay of any sound source without sacrificing the original tone's fidelity. Its attack function delivers a pick-triggered volume swell, a smooth, controllable slow-gear effect with timing from extremely fast to very slow, turning guitar into sustaining, synth-pad-like sounds with notes fading in. A powerful optical compressor adds subtle punch or extreme sustain and keeps the swell smooth even at long attack times, while a Volume knob sets the peak level and a master Blend lets players layer clean, uncompressed sound under the effect. With six knobs covering attack, compression, sensitivity, and more, it excels at ambient and atmospheric textures, especially paired with reverb and delay, and works on guitar, bass, or other instruments.
