Stereo volume pedal

[steviedee]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a volume pedal that takes a TRS input from a Ric and splits the signal to two mono outputs. I have a home made Rickosound which is great but I’ve just bought a Helix Stomp and I’d rather use the expression for switching snapshots than volume.  If I could get a volume pedal I could dispense with my DIY Rickosound. Cheers!

I'm not familiar with the Rick-o-sound... is it just Neck n Bridge pickup wired seperate to a stereo jack?

Should be easy to rewire a std passive vol pedal. Swap the mono in for a stereo jack socket... use the old mono in for the other mono out... change the pot for a dual gang, might not be bang on L & R balance.

The Rick-O-Sound uses a switching jack as secondary output, so that when a second jack is plugged in the pickups are split neck - output 1 and bridge - output 2, if there's no jack in the second output then the main mono output just gets both pups in parallel, similar to a standard Jazz bass wiring.

That's the only thing about Ricks that I like.

So you need two mono leads? just add another mono in and out socket to the vol pedal and swap for a dual gang pot.

otherwise you will need a special stereo to 2x mono jack plug lead, or a stereo lead and splitter box with short wires you wear on the strap, belt or back pocket

2x Mono In... 2x Mono Out... Dual Gang... £20

Thanks!

probably the simplest idea is just use my Ric O Sound clone then I can get a passive volume pedal with two mono ins and two outs like the one suggested.
