PROEL GF12 - Guitar Volume Pedal (High Impedance / 1 In - 2 Out)
The Proel GF12 is an essential tool for the modern guitarist seeking complete control over their expressive dynamics. Part of the acclaimed "Golden Feet" series, this volume pedal has been specifically designed to work with the high-impedance signal of electric guitars, ensuring that your instrument's tone remains pure, crystalline, and without any loss of high frequencies when reducing the volume.
Its hybrid construction combines the best of both worlds: a high-strength thermoplastic ABS chassis that reduces weight for transport, and a counterweighted galvanized metal base that ensures unwavering stability on the floor. You'll no longer have to worry about pedals slipping mid-performance; the GF12 stays firmly in place thanks to its non-slip rubber feet, allowing you to focus solely on your playing.
The 1 Input and 2 Output configuration offers superior versatility in routing your signal. Equipped with a high-quality 100k Ohm potentiometer, it provides a smooth, linear action, perfect for both precise volume cuts and ambient swell effects. Its ergonomic design ensures absolute comfort, allowing for effortless, millimeter-precise adjustments with your foot.
Main features
-
Precision Control: Incorporates a 100k Ohm potentiometer designed to offer a linear and musical response, ideal for passive guitar pickups.
-
Superior Stability: The counterweighted metal base and high-grip rubber feet prevent accidental displacement, even on low-traction surfaces.
-
"Road-Ready" Durability: Materials selected to withstand the intensive use of constant touring and rehearsals.
-
Adjustable Ergonomics: Operating angle designed to reduce ankle fatigue during prolonged use.
Benefits for the guitarist
Using the PROEL GF12 transforms the way you interact with your amplifier and pedals. By placing it at the beginning of your signal chain, you can clean up the signal from a clipped amplifier without touching your guitar's volume control, keeping your hands free to play. If you use it to split the signal (thanks to its output configuration), you can experiment with more complex setups without sacrificing tonal integrity.
Use cases
-
Swell/Violining Effects: Creates immersive atmospheres by removing the pick attack and gradually increasing the volume.
-
Gain Management: Use it before your overdrive pedals to control the amount of distortion with your foot in real time.
-
Signal Routing: Take advantage of the second output to send your signal to a dedicated tuner (keeping it out of the direct audio chain) or to attack two different destinations depending on your setup.
-
Total Silence: Instantly cuts the signal between songs or during pauses without generating annoying noises.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it require mains power or batteries?
No, the Proel GF12 is a completely passive pedal. It requires no batteries or power adapters to operate.
Does it affect the tone of my guitar?
Thanks to its high-quality 100k Ohm potentiometer, the pedal is designed to minimize the tone loss ("tone sucking") common in lower-end pedals, maintaining the natural brightness of your instrument.
Can I use it with keyboards?
Although it will work, this model (GF12) is optimized for high impedance (guitars). For keyboards, low impedance models (such as the GF12L) are recommended for a response curve better suited to line-level signals.
