Re: Looking for a good volume or swell pedal
I've owned 2 Volume Pedals.
I had the Morley Lil aligator and hated it. If you turned the volume control halfway up or more and had the wah in the up (off) position, sound still leaked through.
The best volume pedal out there hands down is the Ernie Ball. EBVP is the industry standard in that aspect. It's great. SImple. No power source needed. Size of a wah. Works amazingly well.
It can be had used for around $50.
Awesome with delay and various efx for swells. Awesome for doing a subtle fade in/fade out. Awesome for backing off a little and trailing off in the mix when you don't NEED to be the present one. Awesome for the fact it's foot controlled, meaning you can keep your guitar controls set as is (b/c if your like me, there's some songs that you're flipping the toggle switch back and forth and adjusting the controls and the last thing you need to do is tweak the controls even more when it's on you to carry the song). Simply put, Simply awesome.
