I have an old Morley Pro that keeps being dumb. I need to replace it.
What do the cool kids use for volume pedals in these parts?

I just picked up a Visual Sound Visual Volume 10th Anniversary model cheap on eBay I like a lot.
Cool LEDs, stereo and an adjustable boost.
Nice.

That Ernie Ball VP Jr. volume pedal has a 250K volume pot. We spend a lot of time here debating 250K vs. 500K volume pots. So what effect does a Ernie Ball with a 250K pot have on the tone of a humbucker? Does it make it sound like it's lost some highs that we'd rather not lose?

Re: so what's a good volume pedal?
It's exactly the same as having a 250k volume control on a guitar.
It's very easy to replace the pot on an Ernie Ball volume pedal if you care about that sort of thing.

IIRC Morley is an optical volume. I think they use an led (???) to control the levels.

I'm looking at it, and it might have something to do with the output jack.

Don't like the sweep as much as the VV.
"Steves taper" seem too abrupt in comparison.
I'm hoping I can adjust it.
Got the Little Aligator, too.

Get a Boss FV series. I have seen pros like Steve Vai using it. Seems reliable.

Dunlop. It's a passive volume pedal. No power needed.

Re: so what's a good volume pedal?
I didn't know that. I've been a Dunlop fan for forever though. Every set of EB strings have broken in like a week. Even the Titanium Coated ones. So I'm a little weary of a Ernie Ball pedal. My brother swears by his EB Wah, but I haven't tried it out yet. Maybe when his birthday rolls by.
If you get an EB volume, make sure it's the one for the electronics that you have, they make a version for passive and active pickups.
