I haven't had a volume pedal on my pedalboard in almost a decade. But, I’ve noticed lately that it’s rare to find a traditional pedalboard user or even a modeler user without a volume pedal nowadays which has me wondering: do you need a volume pedal?
Today, I'm taking you on my journey with volume / expression pedals- My early experiences with volume pedals, where to place them in your pedal chain and we'll go over and demonstrate some common uses for volume/expression pedals including: swells, wah, pitch / whammy, mix control for Reverb, and more. And maybe most importantly, we'll answer the question: do you need a volume pedal? Come along for the journey as we seek to discover whether Volume Pedals are either underrated pedals every guitarist should have, or just another redundant piece of gear.
Huge shoutout to Sonicake for sponsoring this video and providing their new FlipVol, a passive volume/expression pedal to try out! This is a fantastic volume pedal at an even better price! Whether you're brand new or a veteran in the guitar gear world, the Sonicake FlipVol is an awesome pedal to check out!

What do you think? Do you need a volume pedal?

That’s cool to learn about expression. So informative- ithe wah effect is really cool! I always look forward to learning from you! 😊

I find volume pedals useful for not only ambient texture tone but, depending where in the chain, they can act as a panic lever if something goes wrong. It saved my bacon a few times.

Haha yeah!! I could see that! It can definitely be useful to have a kill switch-

I've had the same Boss volume pedal since I was 16. That's like 32 years ago. It's held up pretty good! I think maybe it's time to upgrade.

Dang man!! Pretty amazing quality if it’s lasted that long!!

Since I was a kid, I always wanted a Wah and a volume pedal. That's all I knew existed (my time predates the Internet - I think writing had barely been invented). A few millennia later, I finally have my Wah and Volume and came to realize that I'd rather have the pedal controlling something else instead of volume ¯\_(°°)_/¯ C’est la vie

@JustinMuncy Ай бұрын

A few millennia LOL! Yeah, having an expression pedal is oddly functional. I've never had an expression pedal on my board, but I definitely see the appeal!

Jimmy Herring of Widespread Panic taught me volume pedals are essential

You can definitely get by without one! But, it is nice convenience to have depending on what you’re doing-

@@JustinMuncy Hey....Sure. I find the volume pot on guitar more inportant....but for a different thing really, it s for tone. But yeah, for some styles, a volume pedal is necessary. Not my case. Take care man 😉
