Abstract
A volume pedal for a guitar is configured so that the volume pedal is at the front of an effects pedals signal chain or at the end of the signal chain depending on the desires of a user. The volume pedal attenuates the whole signal chain allowing the musician to produce swells and similar effects when at the front of the signal chain and controls overall after effects and turns down reverb and delay repeats as well as noise from overdrive/distortion pedals when at the back of the signal chain. A quad pole double throw switch controls the signal flow of the device either directing the signal to flow from guitar to potentiometer to signal chain to amplifier or from guitar to signal chain to potentiometer to amplifier depending on whether the volume pedal is at the front or the rear of the signal chain respectively.
