Volume pedal suggestions

I´ve gotten used to playing with a volume pedal. I play country music, and use it as a boost for solo´s and for generally adjusting the volume level to fit the song. I have an active optical volume pedal from george Dennis, but it has been acting up a bit lately so it´s time to ditch it. One good reliable one, maybe with a tuner out. i´m thinking ernie ball....should I go for active or passive,? if active i want a 9v model because i have a multi power supply for all my pedals......

in my opinion the best volume pedal out there is made by Keith Hilton. it is the hilton volume pedal. it is active and has a built in impedance matching device. it seems to be totally transparent with your tone. it is powered with a wall wart though.

Try a Goodrich Volume Pedal. Straight volume pedal, transparent with no signal loss and available in a high or low profile model. Well made from an small shop, not mass produced and GREAT quality.

I had one for a while, worked great , didn't seem to color my tone at all, adjustable sweep, dual in and outs, and a tuner out.
I just don't use a volume pedal much so I sold it, but I'd buy another one if I needed a volume pedal.

I've still got a pair of Boss FV volume pedals. Never let me down once.

And go to The Steel Guitar Forum where there garage sale almost always has Goodrichs and Hiltons for sale and they love to chat about them. I see that have at least one Goodrich offered now.

One more vote for the Goodrich. I've been using one for nearly 5 years and its been rock solid. Great build quality and zero signal loss. I have an active one, but they also make a passive one. I suspect the passive one will introduce some signal loss.

Dang, am I the only one here using the Ernie Ball? Been using one hard for two years now, and it's never let me down yet. Built solid, no signal loss that I can tell, and no worries about batts or wall warts. Whatever you do, STAY AWAY FROM MORLEY!! I had two and they are junk!

I just purchased the Ernie Ball Jr.a while back and I think it's a Great little volume pedal it does'nt take up a bunch of room on my pedalboard either.I still have 2 other EB Mono volume pedals that I use for back ups.I can't hear any tone difference either compared to the other EB pedals I own they all sound the same to me.DblStop, Happy Holidays all my fellow Tele Players Soon to be Nashville bound HEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

The volume pot on my EB mono volume pedal ($60.00) is of much higher quality than any of the other pots in my signal chain (Boss CS3, TS9, old Fender or Boogie amps), so I don't worry about any signal loss from the EB. In fact, it allows me to run my volume control on the Tele up all the way if I want to, without high-end loss, plus I can use the volume knob on the guitar as a sort of tone control. I originally bought it because I was using my Guild and Gibson guitars with 2 tone and 2 volume knobs and I would get them adjusted to right where I wanted them and didn't want to change the settings just to change the volume. I use the Ernie Ball as a kind of stomp-box, with a block of wood fastened at the heel to limit the amount of attenuation, although I can still vary the volume to a degree. Works for me.

Been using one for over 10 years with no trouble.
