The Electro-Harmonix Signal Pad is a passive attenuator pedal that allows you to control your guitar’s output volume without affecting your tone. Simple and highly effective, it acts like the volume knob on your guitar but with the convenience of a footswitch, enabling smooth transitions between different volume levels on the fly. This is particularly useful for dialling in cleaner tones when running an amp at the edge of overdrive or for quick dynamic shifts during a performance.
Its design is straightforward, featuring a single Volume knob that lets you adjust the signal level, and a true bypass switch that ensures no tone colouration when the pedal is disengaged. Because it’s passive, it requires no power, making it a hassle-free addition to any pedalboard.
The Signal Pad can be used creatively in various setups. For example, it can attenuate the signal going into your overdriven amp, producing a cleaner tone without having to roll back the guitar’s volume. It’s also ideal for taming hot signals or balancing the levels between guitars with different output pickups.
Compact, durable, and simple to use, the Electro-Harmonix Signal Pad is an invaluable tool for players looking for precise control over their dynamics and signal levels without compromising tone or adding unwanted colour to their sound.
