Here's what Lehle have to say about the Mono Volume 90:

The Lehle Mono Volume 90 is a volume pedal equipped with a precise magnetic sensor enabling it to operate almost wear-free. This sensor uses the Hall effect, named after Edwin Hall, to measure the strength of magnetic fields. In the Lehle Mono Volume 90, the Hall sensor, which is made in Germany, is accurately calibrated to the built-in magnet and the control range of the pedal. The pedal moves only the magnet, the distance is measured by the Hall sensor which controls a VCA.

A premium Blackmer VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) from the United States replaces the mechanical potentiometer. The principle of the voltage-controlled amplifier is based on the fact that gain can be varied by the control voltage coming from the Hall sensor. This technique allows to operate more precisely than conventional mechanical potentiometers or optical sensors used by the standard volume pedals. In addition the potentiometer-typical noise and the complicated adjustment are eliminated.

Over the entire control range the Lehle Mono Volume 90 transmits the full sound spectrum of the connected instrument. The input and output impedance always stay the same, ensuring that there will be no damping of higher frequencies as with potentiometers.

Internally, the input voltage coming from the power supply socket of the pedal is rectified, then filtered, stabilized and doubled to 18V, thus achieving a total dynamic range of 110 dB.

The volume control of the Lehle Mono Volume 90 ranges from -92 dB to 0 dB – so from a virtually muted level to the same volume. Using the MIN control, the minimum volume of the Lehle Mono Volume 90 can be set within a range from mute 0% to 90% (-10 dB). Furthermore, a gain up to +12 dB boost can be additionally adjusted via the GAIN control.

The Lehle Mono Volume 90 runs mechanically extremely smooth and steady, as it is equipped with low-friction bearings of a high-performance polymer, and there is no mechanical transmission of the pedal to other components. By means of an adjusting screw the mobility of the pedal can be modified very precisely.

In addition, the Lehle Mono Volume 90 has a buffered direct out which can supply a tuner, DAW or a second amp without affecting the sound. 

Input / output jacks on the side of the pedal make the Lehle Mono Volume 90 an ideal device for pedal steel players – without any obstruction, the pedal can be placed in the usual spot on the pedal steel rack.

Volume

A volume pedal is a pedal-style device used to control the volume level of an instrument, typically a guitar or a keyboard, by foot movement. It allows musicians to adjust the volume smoothly and dynamically while playing, providing hands-free control over their instrument’s output level. Here’s how a volume pedal works and some common features:

1. **Pedal Design**: A volume pedal consists of a foot-operated pedal and a housing unit. The pedal is typically attached to a potentiometer (variable resistor) inside the housing, which adjusts the volume level based on the pedal’s position.

2. **Expression Pedal Compatibility**: Many volume pedals are compatible with expression pedals, allowing players to control other parameters in addition to volume, such as modulation depth, delay mix, or wah effect, depending on the pedal and the equipment it’s connected to. This adds versatility and flexibility to the pedal’s functionality.

3. **Input and Output Jacks**: Volume pedals have input and output jacks for connecting the instrument’s signal input and output, respectively. Some volume pedals also feature additional jacks for connecting to effects pedals or other audio equipment.

4. **Taper and Sweep**: The taper refers to the way the volume changes in relation to the pedal’s movement. Most volume pedals feature an audio taper, which provides a logarithmic response to the pedal’s movement, mimicking the way human ears perceive volume changes. The sweep refers to the range of motion of the pedal, from minimum to maximum volume.

5. **Minimum Volume Control**: Some volume pedals include a minimum volume control knob or switch, which allows players to set a minimum volume level when the pedal is fully depressed. This can be useful for achieving swells or fade-ins from silence.

6. **Buffered vs. Passive**: Volume pedals may be either buffered or passive. Buffered pedals include an active circuit that maintains a consistent impedance and signal strength, preventing signal loss and preserving tone when using long cable runs or connecting to multiple effects pedals. Passive pedals, on the other hand, do not include active circuitry and may introduce some signal loss, especially with long cable runs.

7. **Tuner Out**: Some volume pedals feature a tuner output jack, which allows players to connect a tuner pedal directly to the volume pedal. This enables silent tuning while muting the instrument’s signal to the amplifier or other audio equipment.

Overall, a volume pedal is a versatile tool for guitarists, keyboardists, and other musicians seeking dynamic control over their instrument’s volume level. Whether used for swells, fade-ins, rhythm adjustments, or creative volume effects, a volume pedal provides hands-free control and adds expressive possibilities to live performances and studio recordings.
