Unfortunately, I tried the volume pedal twice and the experiment was a miserable failure for me. I cranked the gain and master volume, setting the pedal in the "closed" position. Then as I roll forward it goes from no sound right into a "booming" bass-buzzy, rattling clean, then a hair more and I have that great crunch, but I'm at 75% of the volume of the amp going full bore. Another inch and it's full bore.

Maybe there is a better pedal out there (this is an old Morley Wah/vol) but I have a feeling that even a better pedal will yield similar results.
