Inspired by a group of programmers that attempted to build The Worst Volume Control UI, we’ve come up with the worst volume pedal design. Does it work? Yes! Does it solve a problem anyone has? No! Rather than a volume knob we’ve gone with fifty jacks starting at 98% and dropping in 2% increments down to completely muted.
This device measures in at about 7.5″ x 4.5″ and weighs over 2 pounds due to the 52 jacks. The enclosure was an accidental order nearly 20 years ago and being an awkward size it’s been sitting and waiting for the right project. The top face happens to have the perfect amount of space for 50 jacks and the unusual height leaves plenty of clearance for the jacks to mount vertically. The completely passive design means no power supply is needed. I’m not entirely sure what will happen to this but one thing for certain is this will never be a production device from us.
