Description
No strings. No pots. No gears. Nothing to wear out, get scratchy, or fail mid-set. With contactless position sensing and a robust metal chassis, Canvas Volume is designed for players who demand consistency night after night. It's a modern volume pedal built to solve old problems without sacrificing tone or feel.
Housed in a rugged steel and aluminum chassis that balances durability with pedalboard-friendly weight, Canvas Volume is engineered for years of consistent performance on stage, in the studio, and everywhere in between.
Fully Analog Signal Path, Digitally Controlled Precision
Canvas Volume uses a precision position sensor to track pedal movement and translate it into smooth, musical volume changes via high-quality analog VCAs. The result is the feel and tone players expect from a classic volume pedal, paired with modern consistency and control.
Flexible Signal Routing
Designed to integrate seamlessly into virtually any rig, Canvas Volume supports multiple signal flows. Whether you're running a simple mono setup, a stereo board, or need dual outputs from a single input, Canvas Volume adapts easily to your workflow.
Deep Customization Under the Heel
The control interface is discreetly tucked under the heel of the pedal, keeping your settings safe while remaining easy to access. Two buttons and LED indicators give you control over four powerful parameters.
Taper
The taper defines how your volume changes across the pedal's sweep - and it's the key to dialing in the perfect feel. Canvas Volume includes Walrus Audio's own custom-designed taper plus seven carefully modeled tapers from classic, real-world volume pedals. Taper 1 is custom-designed specifically for the Canvas Volume, aiming to provide an ultra-smooth response for guitar players. Tapers 2-6 provide more traditional audio tapers modeled after popular volume pedals. Tapers 7 and 8 feature models from pedals with a more linear response favored by pedal steel players
Minimum On
Sets how much signal passes through when the pedal is fully heel-down. At its lowest setting, Canvas Volume provides extreme attenuation (about -90dB). Raising this value allows some signal to remain at heel-down, perfect for volume swells that never fully disappear or for faster response at the start of the sweep.
Gain
Controls the maximum output level at toe-down. Unity gain (0dB) sits at the default setting, with additional headroom available in 3dB increments, up to +9dB, making Canvas Volume equally capable as a clean volume boost.
Lag
Lag introduces a delay between pedal movement and volume response, smoothing out transitions and enhancing swells. From immediate, fast response to a dramatic 2-second lag, this parameter lets you fine-tune the pedal's feel to your playing style.
Note: Lag works alongside whichever taper you've chosen and will respond to that taper's curve. For example, a linear taper curve will have an equal amount of lag going from toe down to heel down positions. Lag following a non-linear curve will swell into a toe-down position quicker than going into a heel-down position.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
