frank | Volume pedal questions Hi, I’m looking to get a volume pedal, and was hoping someone could give me a quick tutorial on what’s out there and what’s worth looking for/avoiding. I’m looking for something passive (no batteries) since I don’t need a volume boost – just want to do volume swells and such. Stereo outs aren’t important but a tuner out might be nice. Do volume pedals in general muck with your tone, or do they pass it cleanly enough? I’m not a true-bypass junkie, but I do hear and dislike the tone-sucking abilities of really bad bypasses (wahs, Big Muffs, etc). Also, I’m planning on getting a Line6 modulation modeler and was hoping to use the volume pedal for controlling the speed of the effects. Can a passive volume pedal be used in this application, or does it need something different? If so, what DOES it need? Thanks for your help, Frank |
