I've had one of these for ages not used it much due to a volume drop when I switch it on. However I just found this pic that claims they have an internal volume pot. small silver screw to the left of the black box with 4/4 on it, anyone tried it?

looks like a trim pot, before you adjust it take a photo in case you need to return it to how it was

Good idea... cheers

Or mark it with a permanent pen like we used to in the olden days.

Yeah, snap a photo or mark it with a pen...that way, the worst that can happen is it sounds the same as it did to begin with! I've learned that the hard way in the past...

EDIT: Benecol beat me to it.

i hear a lot of online bitching about volume drop in tremolo pedals. is it not just because of the nature of the effect?

genuinely interested..........

I thought it was generally a percieved volume loss rather than an actual volume loss due to the volume cuttting in and out.

exactly that was my thoughts on it.

While yes, it is the nature of the beast, in that on a full depth trem with a symmetrical wave, you're kicking out half as much signal, I do find I prefer a trem with a bit of a volume boost, or even a volume control. It doesn't need much, just a nudge.

i used to have one of these and loved it, i never noticed a vol. drop tho. but, i believe when i had it i just had a 15 wat practice amp and a marshall 30 watt P.O.S.
