I've never tried one. Are they brand specific or universal? Can anyone suggest where to start looking for these?

Peter, when you say mounted I assume you mean pedal with a bracket. Most that are designed for pedal steel have a bracket available to place over the pedal bar. Your choice to mount or not. These brackets are purchased separately and mostly universal. I hope this helps.

I was led to believe that the attached volume pedals were created to enable fast setups and take downs between acts at the Grand Ole Opry.
The early Emmons pedals had a pin that secured them to the pedal bar. Very Happy

I don't know why everyone else does it or why, but I made my own so that the V pedal will always be in the exact same position. The Goodrich bracket is a good way to go as well for consistency.

Yes there are volume pedals made to hook onto the pedal bar. They are not free standing and do not have bottoms on them. They have 2 basic designs. One with a drop pin and another with a pin that hooks to the pedal bar. If you buy one to try out make sure you have the attachment for the feet and a hole in your pedal bar.
I used them for years mostly with my Franklin. There are a few for sale now on the forum . I am going over a few of them that I am getting ready to sell also. They work fine over all. I'm pretty settled on the Goodrich L120 at this point.
