I just tried to find the Visual Volume pedal and it looks like it is not available at this point (it's on their website but I can't find a purchase point anywhere on the web)...
+1, Just added the passive EB VPjr to my floorboard, it's solid, low noise, and has a tuner out jack that works well too.
I've never heard of other bass players using them, but I like my VOX volume pedal. Classy look and tough as nails... Jason
The EB Jr is an awsome pedal built like a tank and eats bent up nails for breakfast plus they are cheap like 50 bucks.
I think it's in the current Elderly Instruments catalogue that arrived last week.....but I don't have it in front of me atm to check.
I just got an e-mail from Dave at Visual Sound. They will not even have them for sale until way after the first of the year!! ;(
I am surprise that they don't have any competitors for this type of pedal. It seems like such a simple concept.....
Yep,exactly! Plus,the use of that Kevlar wire coupled with the spring gives a rather unique "smoothness" feeling as opposed to a relative rigidity of other volume pedals.I tried almost everything on the market (except the Visual Sound one) and there's really NO comparison.The only pedal I can tolerate is the built-in expression pedal from my Roland V-Bass,but only after I tweaked it mechanically. The EBs are giving "that" feeling,comparable,say,with the one when you take your most comfortable but slightly worn-out,trusty shoes. Regards,
If you're after a cheap basic pedal, have a look at the Bespeco stuff. V. cheap and pretty indestructable. Cheers, Alun
