JIG | RE: Boss volume pedals Hello. Thanks first off to all of you esp. Mark for answering all my ?'s so far. I have found that I need a volume pedal after my effects chain and before the amp. Will just any vol pedal do? What is the main electronic difference between the boss FV50 series and the Ernie Balls and Dunlop/Vox types? I have read everything I can find, but no one specifically addresses the issue of placemnet of the vol between the effects chain and amp except for the users of FV50-L. Boss make two type, the 50L and the 50H. L and H meaning low and high impedance. Explain why the difference. When we are talking about impedance, are we talking with respect to ground? ie the high input on alot of amps with a 1M resistor between the signal jack and ground. Isn't this high impedance? Please clear this up for me. I need a vol pedal to do the job and there are a lot to choose from. BTW, it can't be too hard to turn an old wah into a vol pedal. Anyone done this? Thanks a ton! JIG |
