Several queries here...
I intend to get volume pedal mainly for volume swells... where do you guys place your volume pedals for that purpose?
The reason this is an issue for me... I've read from the Boss website that if you are placing the vol pedal at the end of the chain (or before delay) a passive pedal will do, but to place one at the start of the chain an active one will be better. So I have to be more careful with my purchase here instead of just buying one and experimenting.
I'm leaning towards placing the pedal early in the chain. Mike Einziger (Incubus) uses his vol knob for swells and I like how subtle it sounds. To my ears it seems like it's not just a swell in volume but also gain and modulation depth.
Any suggestions? And any good volume pedals (ard S$100 second hand or more if new) to recommend? Thanks.
Damn it's a volume pedal man... why does it have to be so much trouble? :x
