I got this Volume pedal when I bought my MSA classic from local Craigslist sale. It has no name on it or identifying marks. Anybody recognize this one? I plan on listing it for best offer in for sale section.
It has the old nylon gears that are not smooth like the new pedals, but I plugged in today to test it and it works really well and I love the audio taper it has.

It is an MSA gear driven pedal from the early to mid 1970s. Really nice and desirable pedal to some of us geezers👍🏻😊

Tommy is correct.. I had one on an MSA I bought new, and used it for decades.. Went on the factory bracket and stayed right there... they are great pedals, wish i still had one... bob

Reminds me of the Emmons drop pin pedal with the exception of being gear driven.

Great Pedals Smile

I have owned 3 of those for many years. I was able to install Dunlop pots by reversing the mounting bracket and the gear on the shaft. These pedals can be adjusted and lubed to operate as easy as a string style pedal.



Very dependable pedals. I currently use a Telonics pedal when I play out but there is always one of the old MSA pedals in my bag of goodies for a backup.
