volume pedal

[jimmybass04]

lookin for a good volume pedal to use with my effects, i need to be able to adjust my volume for solos with effects etc
so i need a high gain pedal to also use for swells etc.
can anyone recommend which one i should buy, they seem to vary a lot in cost.
cheers , jimmy.

Can't beat an ernie ball imo.
the jr's are good if you're low on space.

I used to have a Morley, can't remember which model. I do remember I really didn't get on with it, I couldn't work out the setup so it came in progressively. However, I am a notorious pedal-phobe, so it may just be me.

+1 on the ernie ball

i use the Boss fv500H - a great pedal - totally bombproof construction, a minimum setting to set it up for just boosting, no string in sight, and can also be used as an expression pedal (with a stereo lead).

all this and retail price around the £70 mark!

+1 for the Boss

The Visual Sound Volume pedal is the best in my experience! It's got LEDs to show how loud you are, so you don't have to rely on your ears alone! Great idea IMO. The older version (if you can find it) should be pretty cheap, but the new version has blue LED's and some other fancy options like stereo outputs and stuff.

Hope this has been of some help, and good luck finding the one for you!

I plan on getting a moog ep-2 for the murf - can that be used as a volume pedal?

Reviews in Harmony Central are not great... Slightly better on the new model...

[Higgie]

I have an original model, and it hasn't given me any trouble what so ever. It has a Tuner output too, so you can just rock the pedal back and tune in silence. I think the newer models can be had for around £50? Not too sure as I haven't felt the need to get one after buying an original

cheers for the help guys.

VERY happy with my Morley but I do have big feet and the switchable min volume is superb

The cheapy Bespecos are remarkably good. Only plastic but I've had mine for over 10 years and haven't broken it yet.

I have a heavy EB one but I can vouch that the Bespecos will do the job fine; get the keyboard one if you have active electronics.
