Yeah, the Ernie Ball pedals are great. I have several different kinds that are good for different situations. Built like a tank! On my jazz looping setup I use a 6166: http://www.marksmart.net/gearhack/jazzpedalboard/jazzpedalboard.html I also have one of their Stereo 25K pedals that I use with my Fender Stage 160 guitar amp. I put it in the effects loop to function as a master volume. One thing to keep in mind is that whether or not the volume taper is smooth depends very much on the input impedance of whatever the pedal's output goes to. Like one time I tried putting the 6166 in the effects loop of my amp, and that didn't work because the input impedance of the effects return is lower than what it's designed for. I got a very sudden burst of volume at one end of the pedal's travel. But the stereo 25K works great there. OTOH, the Stereo 25K doesn't work well for putting between the guitar and the amp's input. One of the reasons I have the direct box on my looping pedalboard after the volume pedal is so that there will always be a smooth volume taper no matter what amp I plug the setup into. The input impedance of the direct box is always the same. Ernie Ball has some "Jr" pedals now, smaller versions of the same things. I haven't tried those yet, but they are probably just as good.
