DIY volume pedal?

Are there any good plans for a diy volume pedal. I was thinking about an active unit to help control the loss of highs.
I have an old crybaby housing I could use as a housing.

Thanks,
Rut

I wonder of an LPB-1 would work for you. Dirt simple....

I built that circuit using my own PCB layout. I find that it is noisy by today's standards. My DOD FX-17 wah/volume pedal blows it out of the water as far as the noise levels go.

My build was noisy too at first.

After I tweaked it to get unity gain in toe down position it was good enough for me.
But then again I'm not that critical about noise because I only play live and do no recording.

Speaking about noise, I once had a Behringer volume pedal.
Now that was noisy. :icon_wink:
