GENERAL OPERATION
POWER
The Dunlop Volume (X)™8 Pedal is a passive unit and
does not require a power source to operate.
DIRECTIONS
We recommend placing the DVP5 at the beginning of
your effects signal chain. Run a cable from your guitar
to the DVP5’s INPUT jack.
Optional: Run a cable from the TUNER output
to a tuner. Signal to tuner is active regardless
of rocker position.
VOLUME MODE (250 kΩ POT)
• Run a cable from the DVP5’s OUTPUT jack to your
amplifier.
• With the pedal in full toe-down position, set your
guitar and amp’s maximum desired volume level.
• Move the rocker pedal toward the heel-down position
to decrease the volume.
• The output signal will be muted when the rocker
pedal reaches full heel-down position.
EXPRESSION MODE (10 kΩ POT)
• Run a stereo or TRS cable from the DVP5’s FX jack
to your effects pedal’s EXP jack.
• With the pedal in full toe-down position, set the
effect parameter you want to control to the desired
maximum level.
• Optional: To set the effect parameter’s minimum
level, use internal potentiometer toward the front
of the pedal. Turn it clockwise to raise the minimum
level or counterclockwise to lower it. Note: factory
setting is fully counterclockwise.
• Move the rocker pedal toward the heel-down
position to lower the value of the effect parameter
within the range set by your effect pedal’s control
and the DVP5’s internal potentiometer.
• When the rocker is fully heel-down, the effect
parameter will be at the minimum value as set
by the internal potentiometer.
• Optional: Use the internal blue push switch to
reverse the function of heel-and toe-down postion.
ADJUSTABLE TORQUE
To adjust rocker pedal torque, place pedal in toe-
down position. Insert a 1/4” flat blade screwdriver
into torque adjust screw located under heel-end of
rocker pedal. Turn clockwise to increase resistance
or counterclockwise to decrease resistance.
