A volume pedal is a foot-operated device used to control the volume of a guitar or other audio signal. It functions similarly to the volume knob on a guitar but allows for real-time, hands-free adjustment during performance. By rocking the pedal forward or backward with their foot, the guitarist can smoothly increase or decrease the volume level of their instrument. Volume pedals are commonly used in various musical contexts, including live performances and studio recordings, to create dynamic swells, fades, and volume changes. They can also be employed to adjust the balance between different instruments in a band or to control the overall volume of a guitar signal sent to effects pedals or amplifier.
Volume pedals come in passive and active varieties, with active models often providing additional features like adjustable gain and tone shaping. They typically feature a durable construction suitable for use on stage, with a non-slip surface and a smooth-action pedal for precise volume control. Some volume pedals also include a minimum volume knob, allowing the guitarist to set a minimum volume level when the pedal is fully rocked back, which can be useful for maintaining a consistent volume level during performances. Popular volume pedal models include the Ernie Ball VP Jr., Boss FV-500H, and Dunlop DVP4 Volume X.

Ernie Ball is a well-known name in the music industry, primarily recognized for their high-quality guitar strings. However, they’ve also ventured into producing guitar effects pedals that have gained popularity among guitarists. The Ernie Ball pedals are part of their “Expression Series,” offering innovative effects with expressive control options.
Here are some notable Ernie Ball guitar pedals:
Ernie Ball VP Jr. Volume Pedal: Although not strictly an “effects” pedal, this is a popular volume pedal used by many guitarists. It allows for precise volume swells and control over the guitar’s output. Ernie Ball Ambient Delay: This pedal provides atmospheric delay effects with the added feature of an expression pedal to control parameters like delay time or feedback. Ernie Ball Expression Overdrive: An overdrive pedal with an expression control that allows for real-time manipulation of the drive level or tone, giving guitarists added sonic flexibility. Ernie Ball Expression Tremolo: This pedal offers a wide range of tremolo effects and enables real-time control over speed, depth, or shape via the expression pedal. Ernie Ball Expression Ambient Delay: Similar to the Ambient Delay but with an extended range of ambient and atmospheric delay effects, plus expression pedal control over various parameters.
Ernie Ball’s Expression Series pedals are recognized for their versatility and the unique capability to control various effect parameters in real-time through the built-in expression pedal. These pedals offer guitarists an opportunity to dynamically shape their tone during performances.
While Ernie Ball’s pedal range might not be as extensive as some other companies, their focus on innovative expression control integrated into the effects pedals has gained attention and appreciation among many guitarists looking for added creativity in their sound. As always, personal preference and playing style play a significant role in choosing the right pedal, so it’s recommended to try out different pedals or listen to demos to find the one that suits your musical needs.
