Hi, I am looking for a True-Bypass Volume pedal, any suggestions?

Most of the ones I can think of are more expensive than adding a bypass looper to an EB pedal.

Wouldn't leaving the volume pedal on full be pretty much the same thing as bypassing it?

No more than leaving the guitar's volume full on being the same as no volume pot.

Ah, gotcha. I've never spent much time with a volume pedal.

I've got a Big Joe volume pedal that clicks into an "off" position (and the light goes out). I am assuming that means it's in full, true bypass mode.

It is described as true bypass on their site.

"W-602
Unique buffered, true bypass, active design with 3-positions function switch. Choose: classic buffered volume, -12dB, or Program modes. In Program mode two, user controlled, variable pots allow you to select max 6-18db of gain and 0 to full cut. True bypass all active circuitry is capable of driving both high and low impedance loads. On/off LED indicates when pedal is engaged."

Thats $170 on their site

Gotchya. Thanks. I don't remember what I actually paid for it... but I do remember thinking "dayummm... that's an EXPENSIVE volume pedal!!!". Honestly, I hardly use it at all. I just wanted it to have available in case I wanted to do volume swells, or if I play a country gig and need to simulate some steel guitar tones.

Like I said. A bypass pedal and a quality volume pedal would probably cost less.
