Bigsby Volume/Tone Model Pedal Effect (1960), made in Downey, CA, natural aluminum finish, aluminum case.
Length is 11 3/4 in. (29.8 cm.), 4 5/16 in. (11 cm.) width, and 3 9/16 in. (9 cm.) deep., 4.53 lbs.
This is a nicely original pedal overall, showing some external wear, cleaned and tweaked internally but not altered in any substantial way. This heavy cast aluminum unit was the most affordable and ubiquitous piece of equipment from genuine legend P.A. Bigsby (excepting his wildly popular Vibrato tailpiece). This was a critical part of every steel guitar player's rig in the 1950s and '60s, but of course works equally well with any instrument. This one has a pot dated to the 20th week 1960, so likely dates to around that time. It is still the best pedal of its type ever made, a genuine warhorse and a fine working piece still. Overall Excellent Condition.
