steviedee Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I was wondering if anyone knows of a volume pedal that takes a TRS input from a Ric and splits the signal to two mono outputs. I have a home made Rickosound which is great but I’ve just bought a Helix Stomp and I’d rather use the expression for switching snapshots than volume. If I could get a volume pedal I could dispense with my DIY Rickosound. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) I'm not familiar with the Rick-o-sound... is it just Neck n Bridge pickup wired seperate to a stereo jack? Should be easy to rewire a std passive vol pedal. Swap the mono in for a stereo jack socket... use the old mono in for the other mono out... change the pot for a dual gang, might not be bang on L & R balance.

paul_5 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 The Rick-O-Sound uses a switching jack as secondary output, so that when a second jack is plugged in the pickups are split neck - output 1 and bridge - output 2, if there's no jack in the second output then the main mono output just gets both pups in parallel, similar to a standard Jazz bass wiring. That's the only thing about Ricks that I like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 So you need two mono leads? just add another mono in and out socket to the vol pedal and swap for a dual gang pot. otherwise you will need a special stereo to 2x mono jack plug lead, or a stereo lead and splitter box with short wires you wear on the strap, belt or back pocket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviedee Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 probably the simplest idea is just use my Ric O Sound clone then I can get a passive volume pedal with two mono ins and two outs like the one suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
