What I am looking for is two volume pots wired a/b in a box, so I can set one to a 'rhythm' volume and one to full (to control gain on distortions and fuzzes). Do any manufactures make something like this already?

Note that if one of them is to be "full volume", which makes sense of course, then it doesn't need a pot at all. So really all that's needed is a pedal that can on/off a set amount of attenuation.
A normal volume pedal does that. Radial makes a small footswitch version. WOBO and Lehle make them (bigger and more expensive, but cool for other reasons). There's a new fancy digital one out there recently, I can't recall the brand ATM. And it's a super-easy thing for any pedal DIY'er to slap together. |

Plus, two pots would make it a bit more flexible, in case I wanted three vols and tones. If I build it myself, I will def do two pots, I may add a momentary switch, too.
I am not sure about all of the pre-made pedals. First, they are pricey, and second, they all look like they can boost - I want pure passive cut.
I sent a query out to loopmaster to see if he'll build one, maybe he'll save me the time and effort. If not, I have a project. Speaking of which, where can I get enclosures?

That's all you need. Wiring can be seen here.
/E: If you want to add another pot just replace the jumper on the 2 legs on the bottom of the switch with the pot+cap+resistor combo. |

They are expensive though. |
