| I have a L120 I'm thinking about trading for a little Moyo VP. Wondering how they compare in height? |

That is my old photo. It is an H120, not an L120.

I love them. They fit my foot comfortably and the taper is perfect. I left mine on my car roof when unloading once. I drove off and it fell in the road where the back wheels of a semi ran over it. It still worked.

I mistakenly wrote higher in response to Jon's post, when I should've written lower. I measure the L120 just under 2 inches when wide open, near 3/8 in. higher than the Moyo.
The reason I ask is that I'm having some trouble with the right knee paining me when bent to a certain position. It helps if I relax the angle somewhat so considering the lowest volume pedal. The angle of throw and amount of travel is also a consideration.
I also cut a screwdriver slot in the pot shaft so that I can adjust the start/stop point.

I'm glad you wrote that -- obviously the L is lower than the standard 120 but I didn't think it was that much lower. |

I also have a problem bending my ankle far enough to use a full size volume pedal. Here's a L120 next to the Moyo, both full on position. I also find that a low-boy vintage Fender pedal works well because the ankle angle is also so low. Sorry for posting the incorrect photo earlier.

Jerry, I have been using Moyo pedals for a while and tried all the lowboy types over the years. I prefer the Moyo over all of the full size pedals. I bought a second one just because they are That Good!!
I took one to a steel show in Lou. years ago and was met with comments like too small. etc. But that is one of its best features!! |

....hmmm....that's a consideration. I'll have to wait until I got my Artist together to check that out. Thanks Mr. Larry! |

| Thanks for coming in on this Eric. Your input is always welcome and helpful. I see lots of players have good things to say about this pedal. We'll see. Thanks again. |

I should get a second Moyo too! I’ve been carrying a Goodrich around as a backup because I’m paranoid, but I like the feel of the Moyo so much better, and it’d be even smaller and lighter to transport.

| I just ordered one from Glenn. You can tell by looking at them, that they are VERY well made and thought out. On Glenn's video, he demonstrates the action and taping of the pedal. Sounds superb! |

| That would be Glenn Taylor. He's the guy that builds the Moyo pedal. He's also a forum member. |

an expression pedal is totally different from a volume pedal - audio signal doesn't pass 'through' expression pedals.
It's used for controlling things like synthesisers, or FX units with an expression pedal jack - the impedance is different from a volume pedal, and you'll notice it only has one single jack
