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!

I guess technically I don’t, and can just do swells with the guitar volume but maybe (aside from it being more convenient) I offers a move even sound if I do it with a volume pedal rather than with the guitar volume knob….

I also am new to this sort of thing. I’m a worship keys player

Hi mate. Personally I never used them. I don t do swells. If I need volume adjustments I use Boss EQ 200, which allows me to have 2 eqs one pre and one in the fx loop simultaneously :)...I use a Wah though when i m into space rock or doom sheet :)
