Behringer FCV100 Volume pedal review - IS €30 TOO CHEAP?

[@haczabim]

Thanks for this, I was considering buying one, but the tone loss and the noise make it a no-go.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

It's one of the worst things I've ever tested

[@haczabim]

Same here; the sweep is incredible, but it's not made full use of. It's a no, unfortunately.

[@colinstuckey1053]

Hi there, thanks for a really informative review. I received my FCV 100 through the post today... couldn't see how to insert the battery, so tuned into your review...Oh dear!!! signal loss...crunching... noise....dodgy battery insertion. Man was I disappointed even without trying it out. So with great trepidation and with head hung low I made my way to my practice room. Still had no idea how to insert the battery so simply removed the only screw underneath the unit. To my amazement, the pedal separated in half fully exposing the battery compartment. In went the battery, pedal halves slotted back together nicely, tightened the screw...not bad at all. Now the serious bit. Patched the new pedal onto the end of my pedalboard and into my solid state practice amp on clean with headphones on to really be able to scrutinize the pedal's shortcomings you pointed out. Again to my amazement...everything was cool. No noise...no signal loss...not a sausage!!! At first I thought that maybe I'd missed something, so fired up nearly half of my pedalboard, and all seemed well. I had changed from downhearted to ecstatic in a heartbeat. I know the real test will be with my band when amped up into my Peavy Valveking, PA and a mile of cable, but so far she's looking and sounding good (lucky 'ole me!). So in conclusion. Is it possible yours maybe faulty? Also did you use a power supply? as I have found those to creat noise on some of the cheaper pedals. Maybe I just got lucky for once...but who's complaining?!!! Not me. Cheers. Col.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Hey Col. thanks for the info. I’ve tried another unit since and it had the same issues. Maybe you got lucky?

[@emilianogreco1585]

@@TheGuitarGeek Yo he adquirido uno ayer y tampoco he notado las deficiencias que mencionas. En cambio el problema que experimenté es que con mi fuente de 12v hacía un gran zumbido "hum", así que decidí probar con una fuente de 9v (no batería, sino transformador) y sorpresivamente funcionó de maravillas. Sin ruido, sin pérdida de tono e incluso otorga un leve empuje con relación al sonido directo. Realmente no entiendo porqué indica que requiere 12v siendo que admite una batería de 9v... En fin, si quieres probar una fuente de 9v seguramente te sorprenderás.

I noticed that you weren't using the power adapter for your review, and I found the same as you without it, but plugging it in made the noise go away.

[@AliasJimWirth]

@@boimesa8190 No. I am looking for a pedal and was not going to consider this one, because of the noise issue brought up in my searches. Thanks to this new information I will again consider this pedal. Thanks for asking.

[@SteelyDanimal]

I have one and this vid just confirmed my thoughts. It’s now an Expression Pedal exclusively for me.

[@MacePhotography]

It uses power because it uses 5volt through the pot to control the cv expression feature in some keyboards such as Behringer deepmind synths. The power adapter is also positive polarity on the centre, which is opposite to most pedal power units which have negative polarity to the centre of the plug. You can get an adapter to reverse this and daisy chain it from a 9 volt power adaptor.

[@intelligenceservices]

except this behringer volume pedal is asking for 12 volts.

[@interruptor]

I bought one a couple of years ago. The angle on the pedal when back was so steep that it made it unusable when standing up and still pretty hard to when sitting.

[@chicoern]

i was almost buying two of these. Thanks!

[@boyanmladenov]

Bought this thing a few days ago; my idea was to control two midi keyboards with it , I needed it for my VST hammond setup, to add an expression /midi CC11/ functionality. So it works only in "cv" mode /out2/, without battery. The other out 1 is for audio only. Noticed that the potentiometer inside does not works smoothly, there are signal interruptions at bottom /between value 10-40/ and near to top /100-115/. Still can be used, but it's with poor quality. It was necessary to apply WD40 on all friction surfaces because it creaked. Overall, it looks solid, but it's a crap inside.

[@jramnorway7985]

Thanks for the video. I watched til the end of it.

[@phillramirez8323]

[@hectorosbert]

Good review and an Eastenders lick to boot - treadle!

[@staszeksalik3734]

Treadle treadle little star. One hint: if you happen to own this one, always keep a buffer between the pedal and the guitar. I put boss DS-1 in front of it and there is no signal loss. Except for annoying hiss from FCV. This is definitely example of bad engineering. The hiss is not even the problem of supply ripple sensitivity. Noise is there on battery power as well .

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks man. Good shout on the buffer

[@intelligenceservices]

true, this volume pedal can not be trusted to nurture the fine little signal that is happening in a guitar pickup. that little signal needs to eat some spinach first.

[@hoanghoangie7557]

can you use this as a whammy switch for neural dsp plugins?

[@MrSindala]

I struggled with the battery also, especially with re-attaching the lid. Until I discovered that you don’t have to loosen the screw. The piece of metal that’s screwed to the lid functions as a spring. So you just pull the lid off and push it back in place. That way it suddenly becomes very easy. Bit of a shame it’s not mentioned in the user manual though. I noticed the noise also. Also using a 9V battery. Is it possible that it would improve using 12V?

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks for that! I couldn't put up with the noise

[@MrSindala]

Me neither. I’m returning it. Have any suggestions for a better and affordable one?

[@ThatMattGoodMusic]

So basically, avoid unless you're using it purely as an exp pedal to control other effects. I would still be on the side of caution - even if it's not an audio signal the noise from it could still cause ground noise issues in larger rigs!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

The only time my foot is getting anywhere near this pedal is when I kick it into orbit

[@grimmwolf90]

Cant you use noise gate to lessen the noise?

[@dperry94]

Mine doesn't produce sound. Put batteries, plugged it in,.... nothing. It doesn't seem like it turns on at either.

[@intelligenceservices]

as to the tone suck, i think it's good to make sure the volume pedal goes in the number 2 spot in whatever signal chain. for example if you have distortion or overdrive, use that first because it beefs up the signal before it heads to this tone abbatoir. i'm noticing there's some kind of digital smoothing in the volume control that seems to cause a strong sense of latency. and if i move the pedal fast, it can even lose awareness of where the pedal position should be for a moment. i think there's an envelope follower program inside the microprocessor that's converting the analog pot to a digital volume control, which is smart, but the smoothing is a bit too much for my taste. but i own it now and reselling it wouldn't be worth my time. it's an interesting experience nonetheless. if you are serious about gear, not buying this and instead buying a high end 200-400 dollar unit might be worth it and you can think of not buying the behringer as a 30 dollar discount off what would be an inevitable purchse.

[@fahdchoudry7763]

I was trying to use it as an expression pedal with a Katana 100 MK2 (using a correct cable either in the Exp Pedal socket in the back of the amp or in the Katana GA-FC, but I am not quite sure I it can work, the trouble being that to turn this thing on, one should plug an instrument on one of the inputs?

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

I used to love my old (I Ithink) Wittner voll pedal. That didn't require a battery, it was just a volume pot in a pedal, had no loss of vol, didn't affect the tone (to the best of my reccolection) and lasteed for decades.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I've never heard of those. What decade?

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

Wittner's an old (Ithink) German company, you've probably seen their mechanical metronomes. I don't know if they're still in production. Mine was from the 70s or 80s.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I'll search one out. Love the old German made stuff

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

I just realised that I'd mixed up my German brands, it was a Fusschweller volume pedal, made by Schaller, not Wittner.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Ahhh.... thanks. Google came back with nothing so that makes sense

[@raymac4548]

Ive got the Behringer UM300 Ultra Metal Distortion Effects Pedal and its dead awkward to get the battery in, I had to watch a you tube video to show me how. Its a great pedal although youtube videos give it terrible reviews and any that I've heard sounded rubbish because they had the gain to high and the other knobs set willy nilly. I set my pedal with the gain off and then set the other controls till I got a good sound and then set the gain to a quarter and I get a fantastic sound or tone as everybody now says. Anyway a good review on the volume pedal as always and I always treadle your videos.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I treadle your UM300. The behringer pedals in that range are still very usable but I've found a lot of them to be noisy. Forgivable live but not in the studio... I have a few UM series pedals

[@raymac4548]

I agree about the noise, maybe a noise gate would help, But I just use mine in the house.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

[@briancherry8088]

Thanks for this. The other reviews didn't mention the volume suck or noise added.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Hard to imagine why not... they are the biggest "features"

[@TheTubeDude]

Treadle. I've owned this pedal for 7+ years. If you can use a Phillips #2 screw-driver (left-handed driver is optional) (this leaves acoustic guitar players out) changing the 9 vdc internal battery takes around 60 seconds. Seriously. It's 1 large screw. I really like TheGuitarGeek. But I've known people with his screw-driver limitations. It's OK; he can do other useful things. 🙂 BTW, that large hole on the North-end underside is for the 12vdc power adapter to go thru. There are 4 other holes on the port and bow underside for securing pedal to a platform. I use it as an expression pedal.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks for the info! That's good stuff. No pedal should require a screwdriver to change the battery though. That would cause a nightmare on stage.

[@TheTubeDude]

@@TheGuitarGeek Excellent point. I always changed batteries before I was on stage; or my tech did anyway. I am a fan. So keep up your fine work. I must order one of your DC JR/fat from HB. Thank you very much.

[@BW-nt2oe]

Could you use it as an expression pedal for two different effect pedals at the same time? Kinda like the EHX duel expression

[@TerenceDechef]

I don't think so. My understanding is that both in/outputs serve as a volume control, and the switch to CV mode only affects the in/output 2.

[@djpedroj2]

Using a power supply I also experienced a lot of noise using it as volume pedal in the fx chain. Not happy with it... searching for another pedal. If anyone would be kind enough to suggest one, I would appreciate it. Cheers

can this be used as a kick pedal for electronic drums?

[@TheGuitarGeek]

No

[@eyeball226]

Hmm, I nearly bought one of these but I'm glad I saw this video. I have noticed that it is now being marketed as "V2" so I'm wondering if they may have addressed these problems. I suppose the question is whether I feel like gambling 30 quid on it... EDIT: Ok, there definitely is a V2 and it seems like this one being reviewed is V1. You can spot the difference as the V2 has an extra switch for the polarity of the expression mode. Not sure whether they will have sorted out the noisy volume circuit too or not.

[@colinstuckey1053]

Hey Eyeball, I took charge of mine today. Couldn't work out how to insert the battery so tuned into Geek's review hoping for the answer. Imagine how disappointed I was to hear it's shortcomings? However, it's absolutely brill...no signal loss or any noise problems at all...to my absolute relief. I posted a reply explaining my findings, it's up at the top. Mine had the polarity switch you mentioned despite being the VI. Maybe Behringer have addressed the issues, or the Geek had a faulty one? Either way I am chuffed with mine, so thought I'd reply to you. Cheers. Col.

I fully agree. CV mode is great. Normal mode is really noisy

[@TheGuitarGeek]

It's a real shame

[@intelligenceservices]

it's less noisy if you put the volume pedal after whatever is first in the signal chain, so the signal has more going on before it gets guillotined. but it still seems to snap crackle and pop or stutter occasionally, not to mention the noticeable delay of whatever envelope follower is doing the volume control smoothing.

[@SD99-bh2kt]
