SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Takes nothing away from the sound of my guitar. It's perfect for swells and changing volume when you can't stop picking. Feature: The adjustable volume in the closed position is very cool, you can make quick volume changes. The adjustable tension is a great feature, most volume pedals don't have enough resistance for me. I tighten this up so there is no accidental volume changes. Ease of Use: Does everything it's supposed to do and more. Quality: It's built like a bank vault. No worries about this pedal breaking. Value: Worth every penny I spent on it. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with them. The Wow Factor: The features I mentioned before are only available on this pedal. Overall: This will be the last volume pedal I will ever buy.

Sound: Expression pedals and volume pedals are tricky, especially if you own a Nord Electro 3. If you have one, it behooves you to buy a pedal that can serve as both an expression and an in/out volume pedal. I prefer an extra large throw and something that is solid and large. This Boss pedal is all of the above---the best one out there. If you don't want a bulky pedal, don't buy this one. It's built like a tanks and is almost as big. I hate the small flimsy pedals, like the Roland EV5, or the ones that don't work properly, like the Alesis. If your serious about performance and don't mind a big foorprint, just buy this...you won't be dissapointed. Feature: It's both an expression pedal and/or an in/out volume pedal. It's nice to be covered both ways...actually it's essential. Also the minimum volume is an prerequisite feature, which it's got. Ease of Use: If you can't figure it out, perhaps you're in the wrong field. Quality: It's metal contruction, built like a tanks. I beat the crap out of mine for 3-4 years, didn't even keep it ithe box..just threw it around and into my gig bag....actually killed it. Then I tried a bunch of cheaper pedals----don't do that. They're mostly garbage. I finally just bought it again and now I take care of it. So if you beat the crap out of it, it will still give you 3-4 years. If not, it might last forever. Value: Yes, its not cheap. But it's worth it. One of those deals. If you're a gigging musician, it's a good value. Quality counts for a lot. Manufacturer Support: not applicable The Wow Factor: Looks pretty good, although Boss in general is not something that would typically produce that much wood. I generally prefer somthing with a more vintage look. But I would submit that this category is fairly moronic. Buy it because it does the job. Overall: It's the best one out there.
