A Modernized BOSS Reference for Today's Pedalboards
For a long time, the BOSS FV-300 was a reliable choice for musicians seeking a dependable and consistent volume pedal. With the FV-50 series, the brand popularized this format, then took a further step with the FV-500 series, designed to withstand touring and intensive use. The FV-500H carries the BOSS DNA: a stable mechanism, a consistent control feel, and a pragmatic approach to real-world needs, plus an Expression output to integrate the pedal at the heart of a modern rig.
Who Is the FV-500H For, and In Which Styles Does It Make a Difference?
The FV-500H is aimed at guitarists (or bassists) who want to master their dynamics without relying on a sometimes overly sensitive volume pot on the instrument. It excels for swells in a "violin" style, gradual build-ups in ambient music, level management in blues/rock, and volume control before distortion to play with perceived gain. Live, it secures transitions (cleanly cutting/bringing back volume), and in the studio, it helps dial in more expressive takes with a more musical gesture than a mix adjustment.

Customer reviews
What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
A robust volume pedal with large size and substantial travel. Customers said it's "effective" and "precise and clean" for volume and gain control without distortion. However, many noted the minimum volume range is ineffective, with limited useful travel in the first third and non-linear response. Compatible with some multi-effects units but incompatible with certain MIDI pedalboards.

on a TC electronic multi-effects “nova System” connected to the stereo jack of the TC and the Expression jack of the pedal and after a few priority settings of the functions it's all good..
On the volume no distortion of the saturation, it is accurate and clean.

I advise anyone who hesitates..

Large, sturdy pedal with a large stroke.
Used at the end of the pedalboard, it allows volume adjustment while maintaining the other characteristics of the sound.
One downside, however: the “effective” pedal stroke is quite small and non-linear. The volume is very low and then increases very quickly from halfway through. So the precision is not very good.Automatically translated
