Lehle Mono Volume S

Description:

With the LEHLE MONO VOLUME S, you get an active and wear-free volume pedal that is lighter and smaller, but no less efficient: Equipped with the proven and constantly evolving magnetic sensor VCA technology of the other LEHLE VOLUME pedals, you can precisely control the volume of your instrument.

As it has no mechanical potentiometer, it also eliminates the noise typical of potentiometers, endless and expensive repairs and complicated adjustments.

Your foot only moves the magnet, while the Hall sensor measures the distance very quickly and precisely. An ARM Cortex CPU processes the data from the sensor into a suitable, musical curve and controls the VCA. The signal path always remains completely analogue and in your hands.

Stability - electronic and mechanical:

The LEHLE MONO VOLUME S transmits the full sound spectrum of the connected instrument or signal generator over the entire control path. The input and output impedance always remains the same, so there is no treble attenuation as with a passive potentiometer.

The input voltage of your connected power supply (9-15 V) is rectified, filtered and stabilised internally behind the power supply socket and then transformed to 30 volts headroom. This makes it very level-resistant, low noise and achieves an overall dynamic range of 120 dB. The smallest sound nuances are presented audibly by the high-end preamp with discrete Class A input stage - your sound becomes tangible.

The LEHLE MONO VOLUME S has no teething problems: low-friction plain bearings made of a high-performance polymer gently embed the shaft in the aluminium housing and reduce any mechanical stress to zero - so it runs extremely quietly and smoothly. Using an adjusting screw, you can set the smoothness of the pedal very precisely from feather-light to vintage car.

In addition to the output, a second, also buffered direct out is also available: Without negatively influencing the sound, everything from tuner to DAW to a second amp can be supplied.

Zero to one hundred or boost à la carte? The LEHLE MONO VOLUME S has a boost that can provide you with up to +12 dB more gain with a little pressure in the toe position. When and how? You can call up the presets via a button: 0 dB, +5 dB or +10 dB. The last preset is the chef's recommendation and remains an audiophile surprise.

The LEHLE MONO VOLUME S can be calibrated, programmed and updated via the USB-C socket - it also sends MIDI data to the DAW or amp sim of your choice.

Compared to the LEHLE MONO VOLUME, we were able to reduce the weight by 50 % and the size by 35 % - with the same stability and more dynamics. It is even 2 cm flatter, while the control travel remains just as comfortable and long as with the larger models.

This is the LEHLE MONO VOLUME S: louder - but smaller.
