Volume pedals

[Algonquin]

I was just wondering if anyone still uses volumes pedals so I did a quick search and saw this thread. I just dug up my old Boss FV-100 and did a quick clean up on it and will take it with me to practice this week. I tried it at the end of my pedal chain quickly tonight and that's where I'll likely use it.

If you're still using one, where does it go in your chain?
Cheers

I don't know if stnadard guitarists use them much but I can tell you that pedal steel and a lot of lap steel players SWEAR by them. They talk about the volume pedal they way standard guitarists go on about distortion pedals.

I have the dunlop passive volume pedal. I have to say I would really like it to be a little more smooth. I took the bottom off and tried to change the tension on the little plastic bar that moves up and down, which helped some but not nearly enough.

Algonquin: I used to have my volume at the end of my chain, but I've since changed it to be right before my delay pedal. The primary reason for this is that if you have a long delay setting on, you can hit your note(s) and pull back on the volume pedal but the delay will keep on going at the set decay. I really haven't used it for that purpose all that much, but the times I have it has been pretty effective.
