Product Description

Ernie Ball EB6166, Volume Pedal -Mono-

Ernie Ball volume pedals have always been considered "Rolls Royce" in their genre. The new EB6166 meets this requirement. Great processing and high stability guarantee a excellent value for money despite its added slightly higher price. One small drawback: The pedal does not have a minimum volume control, so it is not possible to switch back and forth from solo to rhythm, but most guitarists prefer to feel it anyway., 250 K-Ohm version

PROS
  • • Robust die-cast housing provides excellent durability for stage use.
  • • 250K Ohm potentiometer offers a smooth, responsive volume sweep.
  • • Wide range of volume control, ideal for swells and dynamic effects.
  • • Ernie Ball’s renowned quality ensures consistent performance and reliability.
CONS
  • • Lack of minimum volume adjustment limits rhythmic switching versatility.
  • • Slightly higher price point compared to budget volume pedals.
  • • Larger footprint might be an issue for pedalboard space constraints.
