Bespeco VM10

The Bespeco VM10 is a mono volume pedal for guitar: a foot-operated level control that sits in the signal chain and lets a player fade in and out or make swells with the foot while both hands stay on the instrument. Bespeco describes it as an "ABS mono volume pedal for guitar with metal shielded base and non-slip feet"¹. It belongs to the wider family of Volume Pedals, which range from compact mini enclosures to large-format rockers.

Connections and how it works

The VM10's input is not a jack socket but a captive cable: a 2 m lead ending in a 6.3 mm mono jack that plugs straight into a guitar¹. The output is a mono 6.3 mm jack plug, which connects onward to an amp or the next pedal¹. Because the input cable is fixed, the pedal is best placed where a 2 m reach from the guitar is enough, typically first in the chain.

No power supply, battery or current draw is listed for the VM10 on Bespeco's product page, so it can be used without a supply¹.

The VM10 family

Bespeco builds the same rocker format in several versions, and the closest sibling is the VM10L, which Bespeco lists as a keyboard volume pedal rather than a guitar model³. Both share the ABS enclosure with metal shielded base and non-slip feet and the mono 6.3 mm jack output¹³. Bespeco also lists higher-numbered models, the VM12 and VM14, in the same family.
