Excellent passive volume or expression pedal

I really like the volume taper of this pedal and use it extensively for volume swells. Being passive it makes no noise.I use it as my board's main mute switch, at the end of the drive section. It's also featherlight but strong.

I haven't tried it as an expression pedal but I am sure its good quality pot will work well in that mode too.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Because of its small size, it's not overkill to place a mini wah pedal on the board right next to this one. This gives the option of simultaneous wah-swell, a sound you don't get any other way.

I also use it as my board's main mute switch, since it's at the very end of the drive section. It completely silences everything except any remaining delay playbacks.
