^You are aware the reason why people get volume pedals is so they can do things while playing normally with both hands and not have to restrict what they are doing to be able to play with the volume knob?
And also, most guitar volume pots are logarithmic taper pots. Sure, you can buy volume pedals that are logarithmic taper as well, but what if you not only want the logarithmic taper use of your guitar's volume knob, but also a way to control volume via linear taper? You would then need to buy a volume pedal with linear taper. If there was no use for volume pedals, they wouldn't be made.. seems plain and simple too me. Simply suggesting that someone "use their volume pot on their guitar" as a substitute just goes to show a lack of knowledge and understanding of guitar effects and that other players might have needs other than yourself. No offense to you intended, but giving off uninformed advice like that is never a good thing and can lead to that person one gives bad advice too, passing on that bad advice. When it comes to things like suggesting guitar related things, or indeed, any musical devices, make sure you know you stuff before giving advice. People don't deserve to be mislead due to poor and uninformed advice. And again, no offense intended, but please bear this in mind next time. |

Dude, just use the volume knobs on your guitar! It's a great technique to learn and you won't have to pay an extra cent!
You can learn to strum notes while holding the knob with your little finger and turning it like that. It's not that hard and will only take a little practice to get used to. So put that wallet away! |

My pedal steel came with a Goodrich volume pedal. I doubt it's anywhere near high-end, but it seems to do the job.

I have an old Electronic Harmonix Fuzz/Wah/Volume Pedal which is first very solid (you can stand on it) and has a nice sound, but I am not sure it's still sold check out the EH site. Otherwise the Dunlop volume and wah pedals have a good reputation for sound and solid fabrication.

I don't keep up with anything. And I'm on the Line 6 mailing list. |

Considering the X3Live goes for 500 USD at many stores in the US, there is no reason to get the older model if one could afford the X3. |

Only advice I have is stay away from the ones that use a plastic cog level that runs through the gears. I have had two of these from two different manufacturers and they both failed.

I've no experience with Morley, but I've heard many good things.
I use a Line6 PodXTLive on my recordings and live shows, and I have absolutely no complaints. In fact, I love the way it swells my sound into existence. Of course, it's $500, because you get a whole host of other things, but still...just thought I'd share. |

Try out Morley.
Not the cheapest, but if you like optical pedals and want something that is guaranteed to be high quality, it's a good buy. |
