Hi there,

I’m a new user – this is my first post.

I know it’s been a while since anyone posted on this thread but since there isn’t much info on the Signal Pad out there, I figured I would add my 2 cents.

I bought the Signal Pad specifically to hit a sweet spot on a fuzz that I can get by using the guitar’s volume control. I figured a pedal-based “set and forget” volume control should be able to do this job.

And it almost does – unfortunately as some previous posters noted, the signal pad seems to reduce treble at the same time as it reduces the volume. So while I can get the right amount of fuzz, I also get a muddier tone, which isn’t ideal for what I’m trying to accomplish.

There are 2 more things I noticed about the Signal Pad:

1 – When engaged, I also got additional noise in the chain – which really shouldn’t happen considering I’m reducing my total output.
2 – I opened up the pedal and expected to find a pot, a switch, an LED, and a battery – but there are some caps and transistors in there as well. I’m wondering if they’ve over complicated what should be a simple circuit and lost something in the process…

On the upside – as other have noted, the true-bypass works fine and the pedal is transparent when it’s off, and it sure is built solid enough.

I think the idea of the Signal Pad is good – but the execution is a little flawed. If you’re not too picky about losing a little treble (like if you want to tame a trebly distortion maybe?) then you might find it worth buying considering the low price point.

cheers,
