It appears to be a Bigsby Volume / Tone pedal. Why it plugs in to the wall is a mystery to me. The In / Out guitar plugs are on the right side...barely visible, but they're there. This is a very restorable pedal.

| I beleive that Duane Marrs did a prototype pedal similar to that when he worked at Sho-Bud. I e-mailed the seller and he says when you plug it in there is a small red light on the side that lights up. I have no idea why...neither did he. |

I asked the guy that is selling this pedal and he said it's not a bigsby.

Bigsby Pedals had the brand name cast into the front of the upper half.
Also the bottom length of the upper half wasn't straight, but had a curve to it.

I don't think it is a Fender. The Fender pedal wasn't aluminum like this one. It was chrome and shiny.

| Russ is right, with no "Biqsby" logo, it's probably not a Bigsby. Looks like an early Edwards light-beam pedal, to me. That would also explain why it needs the 110v plug. [This message was edited by Donny Hinson on 01 March 2005 at 02:38 PM.] |

Edwards used a copy of the original Bigsby castings to make all of their pedals . . .
I don't understand why there was never a lawsuit here!
If you inspect their assemblies you can actually see the Bigsby casting "signatures"!

This assembly converts easily to an LED - low voltage set-up with minimal expense.
