Solid construction, great performance

Does everything I want it to. Built like a tank! I use it to control the volume of my backing tracks,, and it works very well.

Volume Pedals

I just got rid of my last boss pedals. They were 35 years old. They still worked but were starting to wear out. The new ones are well made,just like my first ones. I will probably leave these to someone in my will because I know they will out-last me. Thanks for everything.

Great product

Built well and solid construction.

We use them for our keyboard rigs and no complaints at all.

Meets all expectations

Nice Volume / Expression Pedal!

I bought the Boss FV-500L as an expression pedal to work with my Boss PS-5 Super Shifter, as the aluminum casing appeared to be much more durable than the Roland EV-5. The addition of the volume control feature, which can be used either in mono or stereo, also prompted me to chose this product. The stereo volume control allows the user to place it after a stereo effects pedal with no loss of the stereo effect, which is very nice! On the negative side, this pedal is quite large and bulky (11" x 4"), making it unwelcome in certain pedal boards. Additionally, the moving parts of this unit are largely constructed of plastic, making it more prone to damage than its appearance would suggest. Having a cast-aluminum housing means nothing if the most important parts of the unit are plastic! I did have to return the first FV-500L that I purchased, as jolts during shipment were enough to render the unit inoperable. The replacement seems to function quite well, though; and I'm fairly happy with it. If I were to redo my order, I would choose the Alesis F2 volume / expression pedal over this Boss product, however.
