The Bespeco VM14 is a stereo volume pedal for guitar, made by the Italian accessory maker Bespeco. The pedal is built from ABS with a metal shielded base and non-slip feet, and it controls volume with a rocker pedal you work with your foot, in the usual heel-down to toe-up way. Because it is stereo, it takes two mono jack inputs and can handle a left and right signal at once, which suits players running stereo rigs or two amps1.
Controls and connections
The VM14 keeps things simple: one control on the pedal itself, plus the two input sockets that carry the stereo signal1.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Inputs | 2 x 6.3 mm jack mono sockets1 |
| Minimum regulation POT | 100 Kohm, sets the heel-down volume floor1 |
| Impedance | 100 Kohm1 |
The minimum regulation pot is the feature most volume pedals of this kind share: it lets you decide how quiet the pedal goes at the back of its travel. Set it fully and the pedal cuts to silence; back it off and the heel-down position becomes a rhythm level you can dip to and return from, which is a common way of using a volume pedal in a two-guitar or lead-and-rhythm setup1.
Stereo in practice
A stereo volume pedal differs from a mono one in what it can sit between. A mono pedal such as the Ernie Ball Mono Volume Pedal handles a single signal path, while the VM14's two mono jack sockets let it pass a stereo feed, controlling both channels together from the one rocker. Players running stereo effects after the pedal, or feeding two amps, can keep the whole rig's level under one foot. Bespeco's own range includes other stereo options too, such as the Bespeco VM10 and the Lehle Stereo Volume sits in the same territory from another maker1.
The VM14L and the rest of the family
Bespeco makes a close sibling, the VM14L, which is also an ABS stereo volume pedal with a metal shielded base and non-slip feet, but it is aimed at keyboards rather than guitar234. The two share the same basic construction and the same idea: a passive stereo volume pedal with two channels under one rocker. Bespeco also lists the VM12ARTE and VM12 in its volume pedal range, so the VM14 sits alongside several models from the same maker1.
The VM14 is a passive pedal: it has no battery compartment or power socket in its specification, and it works by the potentiometer alone. That means no power supply to wire up, but also no buffering, so where it sits in a signal chain matters more than it would with an active pedal.
