Volume Pedals

[bassist_lewis]

I was just wondering how people are connecting up their volume pedals. So far I know there are active and passive ones, the down side being that passive ones have a bit of tone suck so would need a buffer (or two??).

As far as signal chain, I want to be able to do volume swells without affecting my overdrive/distortions, so it would be after those but before my delay/reverb.

thanks

If your pedal is after other pedals, it can be a low impedance (lo-Z) passive model. Any pedal that is on, changes your signal to lo-Z and then the volume pedal can affect your signal only little.
