BOSS FV-50H Stereo Volume Pedal

Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Stereo volume pedal, about eight inches long and under a pound. For riding level by foot or controlling a two-channel rig from one treadle.

Product studyBOSS FV-50H Stereo Volume Pedal

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Stereo rigs where both sides need to move together
  • Volume swells that need smooth, repeatable foot control
  • Keyboard or dual-amp setups needing one master level control

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting a control-voltage or expression pedal for parameters
  • Anyone who needs a heavy cast chassis that will not shift
  • Simple mono boards where a single knob would do

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Stereo, two channels

Left and right move together on one treadle, so a stereo rig stays balanced through the sweep.

Detail 02

0.88 lb

Light to carry, light enough to slide on a smooth stage. Velcro or a board strap helps.

Detail 03

7.87 in long

Takes about eight inches of board depth, more than a compact pedal row allows for.

Detail 04

3.39 in wide

Narrow enough to sit in a standard pedal row without pushing neighbors out of place.

Detail 05

2.13 in tall

Low treadle with short travel, so small foot movements cover a lot of level change.

Detail 06

Volume, not expression

It controls audio level in the signal path rather than sending a control signal to another pedal.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No cables included; a stereo hookup needs four
  2. 02Placement matters: before drive changes gain, after drive changes clean level
  3. 03Placed before delay, it cuts trails; after delay, trails ring out

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Can I use it in mono?

Yes. Use one channel in and out and leave the other side unconnected. The treadle works the same.

02Where should it go in my chain?

Before overdrive to clean up your gain, after it for clean level rides. Put it before delay and reverb to keep trails.

03Can it control an expression input on another pedal?

No. It is a volume pedal that controls audio level directly in the signal path, not a parameter controller.

04Will it stay put on a stage floor?

At 0.88 lb it is light, so it can walk during a set. Velcro it to a board or strap it down.
