Re: I need a volume pedal
i use the ernie ball .. i had sticker shock (over $100US !!), but it's bullet proof and works flawlessly ... i use it to control the volume after my preamp and before the power amp ... no tonal change at all
good luck

Re: I need a volume pedal
The Ernie Ball 25kohm volume is another suggestion for use in the loop.
The Ernie Ball Jr is about 2/3 the cost of the full size, but it's still made like a tank (and takes up less realestate on your pedal board).|| Guitar | Wah | Vibe | Amp ||

The only negative (?) is that it is AC only--no battery power capabilities.Romans 3:23; 6:23; 5:8; 10:13; 10:9-10

Re: I need a volume pedal
Originally posted by HolyDirtThanks kent, the first time i used a volume pedal, i built it, just a passive volume rocker pedal, i thought it would act as just a volume knob like on the guitar (like you said) and when i tried it, it did just that. But i just built another one out of a wah pedal shell, put it in the effects loop.. it worked beautifully! thanks guys
If you just wanted to regulated you *guitar's volume* with a volume pedal, the smart thing would be to use a sizeable gauge of wire, and bypass the guitar's volume control via a switching jack.
Putting a volume pedal thru the amp's loop, the pedal should be a lower impedance than what you would normally use for straight into the guitar.
The BOSS FV-50L works well, and the 300 series is supposed to be *sworn by* as to not interfere at all with your tone in the slightest. See if you can find a schematic of the FV-300L.
Another note also, most volume pedals because of the way they are wired can be used as passive expression pedals, on any two wire circuit. Simply connect the expression pedal line to the *output jack*, althouh the value of the pot may be different than the one that the circuit wants to see, so it's most often will still work, even though you might sacrifice a bit of range though.::::To sound reinforcement engineer::::
