RE: Delurk, intro and a couple of questions.
I guess Ernie Ball didn't consider planned obsolescence on
those units! :) I forgot, they make a stereo volume pedal too,
which also functions as a panner. I sold mine because I already had too many
pedals on the floor, but I suppose there are some interesting applications of
that unit. I've done weird things with volume pedals in the past, like putting a
stereo volume pedal in between the last effect unit in the signal chain and the
power amp...then off to the speakers. That eliminates the gain loss when you
place the volume pedal after the guitar and before your first unit in the signal
chain - which has a similar gain decrease effect as the guitar's volume
pot...that is useful too, especially if you are using a lot of distortion and
you want to clean it up to a half dirty, half clean tone.

Per, Kris,
I concure. I used a variety of volume
pedals during the '80s but switched
to the Ernie Ball volume pedal in the 90s
and have been happ with it
ever since. Like Kris says, it's built like a
tank. !'ve had the same one
for nearly 15 years and havent had to even
change the potentiometer
(the one thing that sometimes goes bad on 'em)
yet.
Best regards,

Per, have you tried the Ernie Ball volume pedal? I use it
primarily because, number one is is built like a tank, and two it has a very
wide sweep control with the foot, unlike the feel on, let's say, a Roland EV5
expression pedal. That's how I get my volume swells, keyboard/organ
emulations, etc. I like the control and spartan design of the
pedal.
