Adapter to use Emmons VP on Mullen?

Post by Rich Upright »

I have a standard Emmons volume pedal, the kind that attatches to the pedal rack via the single hole & the 2 tabs for the pedal feet to rest on;you all are familiar with it. Would like to use it on my Mullen D-10, but there are no tabs or hole on the pedal rack. It seems to me I once saw an adapter that will allow you to use that type of pedal on a rack that isn't made for it; you know; without the hole or the tabs. Anyone know where I can buy one, & what it's called?
A couple D-10s,some vintage guitars & amps, & lotsa junk in the gig bag.

Reviving this old unanswered thread because I have the same question. Anyone know if such a thing exists?

Hey Wayne - Can you please explain how that works; I can’t really tell from the photo. Does it fit in the space in the pedal bar and, if so, how is it secured?

Thanks so much!

These are MSA brackets, you just insert the bracket in between the wings on your pedal bar and screw it together. They have threaded inserts in the brackets.

Thanks, Wayne. Just so I'm clear, do the screws need holes drilled in the pedal bar to do they just compress on the inside of the "wings"? Thanks!
