Ernie Ball Passive Volume Pedal question

Sign in to disble this ad
How bad do these sound mid chain compared to the active version (25K)

Or if I buffered the input to it to that of a passive instrument would that be better?

Thanks

I've only ever had mine at the beginning of the chain. I'll probably try this out later on today and get back to you.

I've got one of each, so if no one has done a comparison by the time I get back online later today I'll check. I'll put the distortion/OD/fuzz and octaver in front and then the modulation pedals and wah behind it....Is that mid chain enough?

Beautiful, but save yourself the trouble and just sell me the active one

Sold my passive P so I really don't use the 250K pedal any more.

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell the 2 apart?

Cheers

The passive pedal has a little micro switch in front of/behind the jacks (depending on your point of view), under the treadle top plate. The active pedal doesn't have it.
