A New Industrial-strength Volume/Expression Pedal!

For 14 years, the famous BOSS FV-300 served as an industry-standard volume pedal. The tradition continued with the FV-50 series, but today, the bar has been raised with BOSS's new FV-500H (high-impedance) and FV-500L (low-impedance) pedals. These tank-tough die-cast pedals are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding customers. The pedals offer a new stylish design, a road-tough build, and comfortable, smooth action. Both models also provide an expression output for use with expression-compatible amps, effects, and even synthesizers.

The versatile, heavy duty FV-500H pedal functions as a mono volume pedal for hi-Z instrument level sources.

BOSS FV-500H Volume/Expression Pedal Features at a Glance:
  • High-impedance pedal
  • Heavy-duty aluminum die-cast body
  • Ultra-smooth pedal movement for the utmost in comfort and control
  • Adjustable pedal feel (torque)
  • Pedal rubber for comfortable play and non-slip action
  • Expression pedal function
  • Convenient tuner output jack

Great pedal

I got two of these for my Katana 2 head using them thru the GA-FC controller. These can be programmed for any effect in the Tone Studio software and make the Katana head a blast to use. These things are all metal and just big and solid. The adjustment on the bottom can be used to make stiff or light on the pedal sweep which is great. They use no power adapter and are plug and play. I ordered stereo cables for them as they do not come with any cables as well. Just a great pedal. In my phot you can see how big these are compared to my Jerry Cantrel pedal. Just big. A shout out to Carter Drain for sending these out super fast. Rock on dude.

Excellent Quality Pedal

This Volume/Expression pedal is awesome. It is rugged, well built and easy to set up and operate. One
constant problem I have with pedals in general is their tendency to wander about on stage while in use.
NOT THIS PEDAL! It stayed put through the whole set, no searching around with my foot to find out where
it had wandered off to!
Music background: Keyboards. Have played semi-professionally almost all my life. Currently playing in a Church Worship band!

Works as advertized.

I was asked to play electric bass for the play "Newsies" Fun bass part, but the dynamics required by our conductor was causing me to have to take my hands away and adjust my volume knob quite often. This pedal solved the problem. It even allowed my to play very long sustained notes by plucking the string and slowly bringing up the volume with the peddle. I really liked the "min/max" feature. It worked exactly as the description said it would.

Sturdy and Smooth

These Boss pedals are very well built, and HEAVY.
I am using the FV-500L as an expression pedal for a Korg Kronos.
SPECIAL NOTE: Korg and Boss/Roland wire their pedals differently, so in order to get this to work with a Korg synth, you will need to wire a TRS cable with the Tip and Ring flipped on one end.

Wonderful Addition To My Pedalboard

The first time I knew about the Boss FV-500H Foot Volume Pedal was from my two guitar heroes Steve Lukather and Michael Landau. This was the moment I would afford to have it and I did. Great addition to my pedalboard, also because its heavy build and resistant material really worth the price and durability. Very handy at the time to control the sound and clean receiver. Love it!!!

Carson McClain

Preparing for a nuclear holocaust? Need to make sure your expression pedal will survive the initial blast and the fallout? The Boss FV-500H is the pedal you need. It's so sturdy and rock-solid, I'd feel safe fighting a mutant inside of Thunderdome with only this at my side. (Oh, and it's a great expression pedal too!)
