TheGigRig More Or Less - Certified AWESOME T-Shirts - https://shop.thegigrig.com/products/the-gigrig-certified-awesome-t-shirt-black-vintage-cream?_pos=1&_psq=cert&_ss=e&_v=1.0It's a really exciting day for us today as we launch our More Or Less Remote Volue Pedal. I’ve fitted a lot of volume pedals to pedalboards over the years and always felt there was a compromise somewhere. Whether it was the feel of the pedal, the audio quality, the sweep, or just the real estate it took up on the board when I didn’t necessarily want to use it all the time. I also knew that the idea of a volume pedal that could do more than just mute the signal would be something that I’d actually use. On TheGigRig Christmas night out last year we all managed to get on the wrong train from Bath. While we sat at Freshford station waiting for the return train, all these ideas came together. I had all my team there as a captive audience so I took them through it and the More or Less was born! Thanks for watching, see you soon

https://shop.thegigrig.com/products/more-or-less?_pos=1&_psq=more&_ss=e&_v=1.0The More or Less is the volume control you've always wanted.Imagine being able to set the heel and toe values giving you the perfect sweep between your minimum and maximum levels. Imagine being able to add 12 DB of boost, turning your volume pedal into a booster with a multi coloured LED telling you if you're cutting, boosting or at unity?Now add your favourite expression pedal to give you the footprint and feel you want. Use it with instrument or line level effects, just place it anywhere you like.More Control... Less Hassle, More Flexibility... Less Footprint... Introducing the GigRig 'More or Less'.How does it sound?More or Less is based around the pre-gain circuit of The GigRig G3 Switching System. The audio is internally balanced and isolated for clarity and exceptional low noise. We also step up the voltage internally to 18V giving you enough headroom to use More or Less in any signal chain from instrument to line-level applications.See your Volume!The multicoloured LED Indicator will display where you are in your chosen sweep. GREEN = Less than UnityAMBER = UnityRED = More than UnityInput BufferYou can place More or Less anywhere in your signal chain and utilise the awesome buffer. Have it as the first in line as your input buffer, last in line as the output buffer, or anywhere in between. Unplugging the expression input sets More or Less to a unity buffer.BoosterWhether you're using an expression pedal or the separate FSL Footswitch, it is easy to turn More or Less to a booster by simply adjusting the Toe value to the amount boost that you want. More or Less has up to 12dB of gain on tap. UnderdriverRunning your normal signal below Unity? Set the heel position to be below unity to easily toggle between the Underdriver setting to Unity setting. This can be a fantastic way to set up your rig, especially when you don't want to boost the amount of level going into your amplifier.Active SplitterThe signal at the input is split directly between the main out and the auxiliary out. With no cables connected to the expression pedal input or with the expression set to unity, More or Less is a studio quality active signal splitter.CV Controlled VCAAn internal DIP switch allows you to control More or Less with either an expression pedal or a control voltage.
