Volume swells ?

[vwall]

I've heard that the Ernie Ball pedal is a good one. I was thinking about picking up a volume pedal soon as the other guitarist in my band uses his all the time and it seems useful.

Ive been using the EB Volume pedal for 8-9 years now-
In fact the same pedal. Its durable as hell and never failed me yet.
Tho I do alot of swelling via vol knob I still use the pedal about 40% of the time.
I dig morley stuff, but i feel the EB pedal is a little superior.

Using the guitar's volume knob works too, but is not practical on all guitars unless you have 12 inch fingers.

"I swear this is 12 inches"

Bwahahhahaha!!!!

I just noticed on my KV2 that the volume knobs for the separate humbuckers don't work quite well, when i turn one or both all the way down i still hear my guitar in the amp (a bit muffled). Is this normal?

Thats called bleed thru volume-
I believe you need to put a capacitor or replace the cap in the circuit.

Thanks for the reply.
My KV2 is brand new, is it supposed to be like this, or is it a flaw? I hate to fiddle with it for now

aren't there volume swell pedals that swell it automatically based on your strumming attack and how you adjust it? I have that effect in the Vetta and I love it.

Boss Slow Gear.. its a standard patch found on some of Boss/Roland products.
If you get a nice smooth taper pot, you really can work the guitar volume with some practice.
