My thoughts exactly! Volume knobs on all pedals! And stereo in and outs on all pedals too! (but volume knobs would be easier and more important to do).

P.S. I would also like expression inputs on all pedals, ESPECIALLY distorsions, to control the gain.

I’m not an engineer, but wouldn’t that mean putting some kind of an amp circuit in every pedal?

And if that were true, then would you have pedal-geeks saying, “I don’t like the preamp in those pedals?” much like pedal-geeks often say, “I don’t like the buffers in those pedals?”

And then we’d be back to, “I wish the Hoax didn’t have that preamp built-in so I could use my ****** preamp instead.”

Lots of pedal-geeks already complain about the DMM’s preamp, for example.

Someone please clarify.

More knobs??? BRING IT ON!!! :love: I love the Flanger Hoax also because it has so many controls! More is better, and volume is useful and simple enough to use for anyone.

this is obviously not ideal, but if you run a clean booster after the flanger hoax and put it in an effects loop it works wonders. the only pain is that you have to adjust the boost volume depending on the hoax settings and it might take a while to find unity gain, but you would have the same problem if the volume knob was built in to the hoax anyways.

the obvious advantage to this method is that you have full control over the preamp you’re using, so aside from having to add a TB loop to your board, there’s no necessary compromise in sound quality.
