I have an E.Ball stereo vol pedal that I sometimes
place in the loop of a Lehle D.Loop, after quite a few pedals and
before some rack gear and the Echoplexes. It`s easy
then to pan different layers to each of the Echoplexes or doing slow panning
sweeps. Only problem is the difference in vol level when changing the E.Ball
from panning to volume mode. In panning mode the
level is quite a bit below unity due to the pedal
being passive (I`ve heard).
Are there any active volume pedals with stereo
in/out?
Btw David Torn who uses Goodrich now has not
much good to say about the E.Ball pedals. Hilton is another quality
pedal.

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.
