About Guitar Volume Pedals
Whether you’re creating epic guitar swells, pushing the front end of an amp, or controlling your guitar output hands-free, a volume pedal is a must-have on your pedalboard. Volume pedals are among the best practical effects available and have many uses beyond adjusting the guitar signal’s output.
Are you interested in exploring how a volume pedal can boost your creativity? You’ve come to the right place. Sweetwater offers a vast selection of guitar volume pedals from top brands, including Mission Engineering, Ernie Ball, BOSS, Dunlop, and more. Read on for information on how volume pedals enhance your guitar experience.
More Than Mere Utility
Of all the gear competing for space on your guitar pedalboard, the volume pedal might not be the most exciting. In fact, some might even argue that volume pedals aren't effects at all — more of a simple utility replacing the volume knob on your guitar. But at Sweetwater, we maintain that the volume pedal can be a highly expressive effect, especially when used in combination with other effects like delays and reverbs.
Dialing In the Perfect Sweep
You might think guitar volume pedals all work in the same manner, but there are a surprising number of twists on the basic concept. Many pedal makers have put significant effort into tweaking the velocity curve as you rock the pedal back and forth. The idea is to create a supremely satisfying swell effect that is more intuitive and musical than a simple linear slope.
Another great feature on some pedals is the ability to set a minimum volume. This option makes it simple to use your pedal to grab a lead level and then drop back to your normal volume without overshooting and cutting the volume completely.
Some of our pedals even allow you to reverse the effect, so the volume decreases as you toe up. We even carry pedals that simply roll forward and backward on the floor; they have no moving parts.
Combo Pedals Give You More
Sweetwater's inventory also includes a variety of pedals that combine volume with other stunning effects. For instance, many of our volume pedals can also function as expression pedals for multi-effects processors, modeling amps, and filters. This is a nice way to save space on your pedalboard. Another popular combination is a volume pedal paired with a wah. If you're into stereo effects, look for a pedal that gives you stereo panning. And don't forget to take a look at our combo pedals that are integrated into multi-effect units. These give you a huge palette of sonic range to work with, including effects like expanders, gates, low-frequency oscillators, and more.
The list of available features on our volume pedals continues to grow, with extras like tuner outputs, buffering, piezo pickup integration, optical circuitry, and passive electronics. If you're looking for specific compatibility, give us a call. Our Sales Engineers are here to help. We aim to ensure you have all the information you need to select the best volume pedal for your guitar rig.
Guitar Volume Pedal FAQs
What does a guitar volume pedal do?
A guitar volume pedal allows you to control the output level of your guitar from the ease of your pedalboard or wherever you place your pedals.
What is the difference between an expression pedal and a volume pedal?
Although most expression and volume pedals look similar, they may have different uses. An expression pedal controls a specific parameter within a pedal — such as the delay time on a delay pedal — while a volume pedal controls the output level of your guitar signal.
