I guess it boils down to the songs you play, if you need it a lot for certain songs then go for it, if it will not be used much then better keep the stomp chain as short and useful as possible, just my 2 cents

Dunno, could be useful if you think you have a use for it. It's amazing what creativity can do to the most of simplest of effects and knobs

well i NEED a volume pedal or good EQ on the loop fx while playing live, 100% of the times.
I use them for the solo parts, an eq is better because you can boost the volume AND some freqs to make ur solo cut the mix, but if not a volume pedal will do the job too (at least for your own monitoring). -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

I use a 3rd Hand hooked up to a the volume control of a pedal I have on most of the time (a modified overdrive with nice tone). That way I don't suck tone with a volume pedal. Even if you have good bypass if a pedal has a lot of metal casing, it will still suck tone. That is why Boss pedals don't, they are engineered to be as good as true bypass, and are small.
The 3rd hand seems to work pretty well for my purposes. http://www.guitar-effects-pedal.com/tone-i...xpression-pedal I got mine for something like $55 I think, new, free shipping. You have to shop around and be patient. Vai uses one of these for other purposes, it is a nice item to have. |

I dont use it when Im playing, rather to make the guitar shut up & be quiet between the songs...... in conjunction with a tuner, it can also be real useful. But playing-wise, I prefer the knob.

I think volume pedal will be a nice addition to the pedalboard if you have space for it. If nothing you can use it for making guitar quiet between songs and making leads louder etc...

It would depend on much of volume changes you are going to use in your particular case.
And also if your guitar volume know is in good conditions and is comfortable to handle. For instance, most guys in the metal world just use their guitar's knob to control volume, because they only use it at the start and end of each song. But if you are going to be doing fades and don't to be spending energy with your right picking hand, then it's better to have it at your feet. -------------------- Visit my:
