Good question. In technical terms it is called an "expression pedal" as in strictest terms the swell pedal controls only the swell division. The same principal applies to all divisions under expression.
Simply put, depressing the expression pedal forward increases the volume. This is called opening the expression pedal. The opposite decreases the volume.
This is accomplished by enclosing the pipes in the division in question in some sort of enclosure and fitting an opening with a set of shades or "shutters." The shades take the form of large Venetian blinds. they are usually made of wood but some builders have used metal and other materials have been used, such as glass on rare occasions.
The enclosure may take the form of a wooden box or a separate room, called an "organ chamber."
The shades may be connected to the shades by direct mechanical linkage or electrically with a motor being used to move the shades.
On a pipe organ the use of the shades is quite different than an electric or electronic organ, such as a Hammond. The expression pedals should not be "pumped" for not only will they will not be able to respond adequately but it will put undue stress and wear on the mechanisms.
Another type of expression pedal also exists. It appears identical to swell type pedals but does not function in the same manner. This is the Crescendo, or Register Crescendo. It works by bringing stops on and off progressively. It is for special effects and should not be used as a means of registration.

What is the value of a Mason Hamlin Liszt pump organ?
I have bought Liszts unrestored from $200 for an oak studio model to $900 for a pipe-top. Restored (to better than new, the kind of work I do) they fetch from $2900 to $3600. But I'm a highly-regarded restorer, and the country's foremost M&H organ expert.
What is the cost of a 32' set of wooden pipes for pipe organ?
One may purchase a small, used pipe organ for under $10,000 (American). However, new pipe organs cost at least $10,000 per rank average. A typical, medium sized church organ will have between 12 and 20 ranks.

Do pedals work on acoustic guitars?
If by one effect pedal, you're actually asking if one effect pedal will work for both regular and bass guitars, the answer is yes, but.... there are effects that are made to work specifically with the lower bass range for a bass guitar- which wont be as effective when using with a regular guitar- and vice-versa. So, in general, yes you can use virtually any effect pedal, with any guitar/instrument... but the effect will be varied in intensity depending on what the effect was initially designed for. Hope that helps.

How do you get stripped pedal off of a bike?
If it's an Allen tool interface that has stripped, it's sometimes posible to hammer in a slightly bigger Torx bit and use that instead. Make sure you turn it in the right direction, Left side pedal comes off clockwise. If that doesn't work, remove the pedal platform, then use a vise grip or a pipe wrench to grasp the pedal axle directly to turn it out.
