“I’ve tried several pedals over the years,” Hank confirms. “My first was a DeArmond tone and volume pedal – straight up and down was the volume, side to side the tone. Swing to the left and you’ve taken all the top off, to the right and take all the bass end off, and by doing a circular motion with the foot, coming from a bit more bass heavy, top light, not anywhere close to a wah-wah, but just starting with the tone you’re finishing on, gives you a sort of ‘mwah, mwah’, quite a nice effect. But sadly it was a problem pedal, not the most robust, the mechanism would often fail, and secondly it chopped off a huge amount of volume from the amp.

From December 2022 Guitar World interview, answering what is his favourite piece of gear.

When we started Roxy Music, [Brian] Eno and I had — as part of our setups — a Revox tape recorder that had a thing called Sel-Synch and Varipitch where you could change the pitch and echo repeats by changing the speed. I had it linked to a DeArmond volume pedal that controlled the speed and Sel-Synch functions on the Revox and provided weird echo effects that linked into Eno’s [EMS VCS3] synth. This was a completely different and revolutionary way of working that Eno and I used in 1972 and 1973.

"Except for a Goodrich volume pedal, Waddy now shuns most electronic accessories. He used to use a De Armond volume pedal but switched to the Goodrich because of it's "throw"-the synchronization between the pedal's sweep and the volume's tape rate."
