The Tradition of Volume Pedals, "with Switch" Version
Inspired by the iconic mono EP06166 version, this pedal retains the ergonomics and robustness dear to Ernie Ball, adding a remotely controllable switch via a side lever. You keep the smooth travel of a large volume pedal while gaining an extra control without taking up space on the pedalboard.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for guitarists and bassists of all levels, it excels at expressive swells, fine control of intros/outros, and rhythm balancing. Both live and in the studio, the switch allows toggling between clean/crunch, activating a boost, or switching an effect, all without adding a dedicated pedal.
