Though I’m pretty satisfied with my current rig – actually, I’m pretty settled now as far as pedals are concerned – that doesn’t mean that I don’t look to see what’s out there. While surfing this morning before going off to work, I came across the new Voodoo TC line of pedals from Roger Mayer. These pedals feature huge knobs for changing the main pedal parameters, and they’re meant to be changed with your foot!
What a cool concept! No more bending over to change the drive on a drive pedal or the intensity or pulse of a vibe. Not only that, the Voodoo TC line has this retro, art-deco look, and sporting colors that were apparently inspired by 1950’s Chevy’s!
There are nine pedals in the line thus far, and from what I can tell from the descriptions, they’re heavily inspired by Jimi Hendrix tones, with a few drive pedals, a vibe, and an octavia. But there is one specifically geared towards bass distortion.
For more information, check out the Roger Mayer TC Series page. There are a couple of videos on the page from the Japan Music Fair, with one of the videos being an interview with Roger Mayer, explaining the motivation behind the pedals.

It’s about time someone came up with a way to control the settings of your stomp box with your foot! What a concept! Congrats to Roger Mayer TC series pedals! I hope they sound good!
what the heck do you think the mxr knobs with the rubber covers are for? Those have been around since the 70’s.
They were never that big, if I recall…
yep…u r right…I did saw someone playing with it for a short time but it turns out to be no that good result.
those look cool. if you’re looking to add the same functionality to your current pedals you can try optionknob.com
i have one on my ehx freeze. works like a charm.
Now THAT is cool! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah thanks dudes for sharing your thoughts and Ideas! I’ve been outa of the loop for over 6 years now and it hurts man! I feel like I’ve gota star all over again as far as trying to gear up either w/pedals or the good ole Rack mounts!
Nowadays things change so damn fast before you know it High Tech’s gotcha by the balls right…? I’ve had time to woodshed but that gets old when your the only one out here doin it by yourself y’know? Now it’s high time I get off my ass and start Shredding for real man! This Attenuator sounds like it would make a good addition to my gear but, I know there’s amps out there that already have them built inside of them for a mear 4Grand!! Outrageous, but…again it’s all about what you want to spend and the sound that your looking for! I’m old school, and mostly just played straight through my Marshalls with a Dunlop crybaby pedal and an old Jimi hendrix proto type rock box,’Distortion”. Or I’d do the Ritchie Blackmore thing and end up blowing out my tubes!! I’ll find something out there soon…if anybody has any suggestions, I’m all ears? Peace out my fellow Ax Men!
