Ease of Use
:
10
Simple I & O. 2 outputs for stereo use. Controls for Mode, Left Level, Right Level, Minimum Volume, Volume and Panorama Volume.
2 modes...
PAN Mode (LED off): Stereo volume pedal. Push forward to pan left / pull back to pan right. Center is balanced stereo R+L.
SWITCH Mode (LED On): Volume (swell)pedal. Push forward to increase volume / pull back to decrease volume.
Pedal maintains it's position at any point along its range.
No manual needed.
Sound Quality
:
10
No tone sucking circuitry. Optical control for noise-free operation. I use it primarily in Switch mode for volume swells, i.e. Alex Lifeson's intro to Xanadu and solo in La Villa Strangiato. Woks great to silence the guitar output at the end of a song.
Reliability
:
No Opinion
Mostly studio use. I have gigged with it. Built tough so no worries here, though I do have a back-up GD-025 just in case.

Minimalistic website. Never had a need to contact them. They are located in the Czech Republic with no local or toll free number. Email would seem the best option: georgede@vol.cz
