This pedal works and looks great, I was using it recently as an expression pedal with my modeler, but it would work perfectly as designed as a volume pedal.

With a sleek black chassis and durable kevlar cord, the Ernie Ball Volume Pedal celebrates its 40th Anniversary with subtle upgrades to its iconic design.
