you can stand on it
This thing is totally bombproof and deeply satisfying to use. I saw Pitchblende use two of these in series and while that was, in retrospect, sort of gratuitous, when they needed to stomp on that second pedal and really take it over the top, it was extremely gratifying.
Get those swells.
I use this along with my EHX Small Clone to get some cello-esque sounds. I used to spin the volume knobs to make it happen, but this just makes life a lot easier. Plus I can rock back, mute my bass, and have dead silence between songs. This pedal allows for a lot of control, especially with the dipper switch.
Best volume pedal
There are many techy snobs out there that will critique this pedal for being passive and 'tone sucking' but if you properly buffer your board (and don't use the tuner out) this is the most responsive and balanced volume pedal under $250 plain and simple.
Average
I had the string break on it but it was after I had bought it used and was using it pretty roughly trying to get an intense tremolo effect haha... thankfully a replacement string is only $5.
Good Volume
recently my roland vol pedal broke and I cant find one as good as it was
Amazing Volume pedal
"Easy" is the keyword. I really appreciate this Ernie ball, the price is very high for a volume pedal But is quality is extremely high! It has an input and output (like all the pedal) plus a tuner input. Cool!
Ernie Ball Volume Pedal
Great to use if your not into using your hand to control volume. I use it mainly for when I want to tune real quick on stage. Nice addition to the pedal board.
Ernie Ball VP JR. Passive Volume Pedal
Actual version of the Ernie Ball volume pedal Jimmy uses as seen at 15:03 of video
chunky volume pedal
just a potentiometer in an expression pedal case.
the construction is fine but the action is done by a string, it seems easy to be degradated and broke with use.
big, comfy and with two outputs (one not affected by the potentiometer). u can use it for tuner (why would u do that lol) or for controlling dry/wet rigs.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
in fx loop for not affecting the gain but just the volume after the stereo side of my pedalboard.
