The Limetone Audio LTV-500L is a volume pedal in Limetone Audio's range, sitting alongside the Limetone Audio LTV-500H and the smaller Limetone Audio LTV-30L Version2. It belongs to the wider family of volume pedals, a category BOSS itself covers with models like the Boss FV-500L.
Connections and use on a board
The pedal is mono throughout: INPUT, OUTPUT and TUNER OUT are all mono jacks1. The tuner output is the practical feature here. It sends a constant feed to a tuner while the main output goes to the rest of the chain, so you can check tuning without stepping through a separate tuner pedal or unplugging anything. Players who want that feed to light up a separate indicator can look at the related Limetone Audio LTV-500L-ilm, which pairs with the Limetone Audio illuminate box mini.
Because the pedal is mono, a stereo rig needs either a stereo volume pedal or one of these per channel. Its footprint matches the BOSS enclosure it uses: 110 mm wide, 289 mm deep and 72 mm high, at roughly 1.6 kg1.
The LTV-500L-MR variant
Limetone Audio also lists an LTV-500L-MR. It uses the same BOSS volume pedal enclosure and the same dimensions and approximate 1.6 kg weight as the standard LTV-500L2. The difference is at the jacks: alongside INPUT, OUTPUT and TUNER OUT, the MR adds a fourth jack labeled illuminate2. It is sold only through the Limetone Audio web store, at 22,550 yen including tax2.

Questions
Does the Limetone Audio LTV-500L have a tuner output?
Yes. The LTV-500L has three jacks: INPUT, OUTPUT and TUNER OUT, and all three are mono. The tuner output lets you send a feed to a tuner while the main output continues to the rest of the signal chain, so you can tune silently with the pedal set to full volume or dip the main output without losing the tuner feed.
Is the LTV-500L mono or stereo?
The LTV-500L is mono. Its INPUT, OUTPUT and TUNER OUT jacks are all mono, so it carries a single signal path. Players running stereo rigs would need a stereo volume pedal instead, or two of these, one per side.
Where can you buy the Limetone Audio LTV-500L?
Limetone Audio sells the LTV-500L exclusively through its own web store. It is listed there at 21,450 yen including tax. It is not a pedal you will typically find at general retailers, so the maker's web store is the place to look.
What is the LTV-500L-MR?
The LTV-500L-MR is a variant of the LTV-500L sold only through the Limetone Audio web store. It uses the same BOSS volume pedal enclosure and weighs about the same, around 1.6 kg, but adds an extra jack labeled illuminate alongside INPUT, OUTPUT and TUNER OUT. It is listed at 22,550 yen including tax.
How much does the Limetone Audio LTV-500L weigh?
Limetone Audio lists the LTV-500L at approximately 1.6 kg. That weight comes from the BOSS enclosure it is built in, which the maker keeps to BOSS's original specification for durability. Its dimensions are 110 mm wide, 289 mm deep and 72 mm high.
