thanks matthias, for your input.
when i said i used the ernie ball before....i used it strictly as a
volume pedal for a guitar setup:
guitar > volume pedal > stompboxes > amp
i do a lot of volume swells into long delay lines for pads and such,
and the ernie ball just didn't feel right...a bit bulky and slow to
respond...i think it was just me! currently i use a george dennis
volume/wah that seems to work nice. i just needed a passive pedal
for this mixer setup.
i did receive my two Proel PVP 14L units from AMS, and i must say, i
think they work just fine. Some of ya complained that it let sound
leak through at 0 volume, and i haven't had that problem.
guitar > POD > behringer mixer > aux one to proel and into jamman >
aux 2 into proel and into mofx. jammie and mofx return to their own
channels on the mixer
i tested these through headphones and couldn't hear anything leaking.
i definitely don't do a lot of high gain stuff...and i'll push it
more in the next few days. overall, i'm happy. they are a bit
light, as someone mentioned, but i'll probably velcro 'em down to my
pedalboard anyway.
now what to do with the ernie ball stereo/pan pedal i bought? don't
know whether to keep it around for some future use, or go get 120
bucks back in my pocket, or use it as a parking brake for my car.
best,
rich
