Electric Guitar and Bass Volume Pedals

The volume pedal can add expressive effect, especially when used in combination with other effects. Many volume pedals are much more than simple up and down parameters. 

What is a volume pedal used for?

Volume pedals often act as the master control over the volume of your guitar.

What is the difference between an expression pedal and a volume pedal?

Volume pedals only effect the volume of your guitar tone. Expression pedals control other elements, such as delay or gain. 

Where should I put a volume pedal?

Volume pedals should be placed after your overdrive/distortion pedals but before your time based effects on your pedalboard. Passive volume pedals can cause tone loss if they are placed at the beginning of the chain.
