The Schaller Double Pedal, originally known as the Universal-Fußpedal, is an exceptionally rare analog multi-effects unit from the late 1960s. Manufactured in Germany, it combines fuzz, treble\/bass boost, tremolo and volume control in one substantial metal enclosure. At a time when most effects pedals performed just one function, Schaller was already combining several effects into a single unit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe most distinctive feature is its dual foot-pedal arrangement. The right pedal, labelled Schweller, functions as a master volume control, allowing smooth volume swells whether an effect is engaged or bypassed. The left pedal, labelled Effekt, controls the intensity of the selected effect, giving you expressive, hands-free control over the sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fuzz circuit features vintage AC151 germanium transistors, components closely associated with the distinctive character of early fuzz designs. The boost section provides additional tonal shaping, while the tremolo delivers classic pulsating volume modulation. A separate control adjusts the tremolo speed, with switches for selecting the various effects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Double Pedal was also produced under the Höfner name and represents an early example of an integrated guitar multi-effects unit.
