Dai Hirokawa	RE: Boss volume pedals those plastic Boss ones look like cheap pieces of crap, IMO. Cheap, lightweight housing (probably flop around a lot, easily moved on a stage), cheap-ass-looking potentiometer (doesn't look heavy duty enough to be used/abused on a regular basis). Sho-Bud? w/the metal housing--those look better built to me. I would guess the pots for the high and low impedance are different in value, high has a high value pot, low lower value for low impedance lines which can drive a heavier load, probably. Still, you might prefer those so check them out personally if at all possible.
