Good volume pedal ?

Looking for recommendation for a good volume
pedal....never had one before so know 0 about
them ...except for some web reading done

Since i will be doing mostly chording stuff,
and just increase the level for lead bits...i
probably want one with a minimum level so my
foot doesn't have to be on it all the time.

I first liked the Ernie Ball 6166, but now
favouring the Boss FV50H
( http://www.bossus.com/index.asp?pg=1&tmp=38 )
since it has a min volume.

...how bad are these at cutting off the high end ?
i don't want to lose the jangle from my 360/12 ...thx

I use the EB Jr. pedal. It seems to work just fine with no issues on any of my instruments. I like the small switch inside that changes the curve of the pedal response.

I have a Visual Volume Pedal. It has those lights on the side of it where you can see the level of volume you're at. If I'm not mistaken, I believe they have redesigned it a bit, possibly even downsized it a small bit. I have the older model. It doesn't have a minimum volume level, but as long as you have a 9 volt battery to power the lights, you can see how much volume you have.

...the local music store has a EB Jr., and also
carries the Boss FV50H, but they're currently
out of stock. i'm waiting for their call so i
can compare them both
