My favorite volume pedal

I tried several volume and expression pedals and found some personal preferences along the way:

–I prefer bigger ones (I have a large foot) –I prefer passive ones (I like to have them aside from my pedalboard and is much more comfortable if they don’t require power) –I hate when they don’t stay in position (I’m looking at you, Boss) –I like when they have grippy surfaces both at the top and at the bottom to avoid slippery movements –I use passive instruments and put volume pedals first in the chain so high impedance is better for me

I found the Boss to work very bad with physics, even the newer models fail to stay in full position at top and/or bottom, by adjusting it you can fix one or another but never both. Ernie Ball feels a little haunted by its mechanism’s weakness and don’t have an aux output, then the DVP1 doesn’t have an aux output, the DVP3 is little, the DVP4 is very little, DOD seems like a tiny and weak option, Korg’s XVP-20 has low impedance, Korg’s, Korg VP-10 has a slippery surface… in the end I preferred the DVP1XL as it has all those features missing from the others.

The only thing I could ask for is a higher expression impedance and the minimum volume control to be on the outside but I don’t care that much about that.

It is obviously built like a tank and the weight is not excessive, it's just what it’s needed to firmly stay in its place.
