I just found this on You Tube and it seems like a great idea.
Anybody use it?
Thanks

Good idea, but imho the enclosure is too big for what it does.
Something like Blackstone Appliancesīs design would be a better solution.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but that product seems...relatively pointless. Massive real estate for two volume presets? Who is the consumer for this?

Well I see your point.
I was thinking that it would be handy when switching from active to passive or from my EUB to a passive BG.

But you could do the same thing with setting your rig to the proper volume for your active, and then kicking on a clean boost for the passive.

Also sounds like a job for the radial bassbone.

That Apollo looks gimmicky to me. Why not put a volume pot onboard with the presets,....you basically have to have volume pedal in order for it to work,....just,...no.

I think this is for the seriously pedal addicted folks. It is cool, but you could just use a volume booster, eq pedal, Bassbone, etc

Does anyone know how this pedal works? Is it a voltage thing with the volume pedal?
