The potentiometer has a 250k ohm resistance suitable for the audio path of passive instruments. Behind the jack area under the footplate is a micro taper switch which provides the user two distinct volume swell rates. Overall Volume Pedal Junior dimensions: 3.5" W x 10" L x2 3/8" H . The main pivot shaft is of centerless ground 1/2' diameter stainless steel, precision seated though nylon bushings at both ends. Tough long lasting Kevlar cable transmits pedal travel to the controls and is attached by stainless steel springs.

this pedal is HUGE! i needed something to help with transitions between songs and this is perfect, but man it takes up a lot of real estate on the floor. One of the best features is that it doesn't need to be plugged in to a power source. i dont have any experience with volume pedals, but i like this one; it gets the job done.

Please, for the love of tone, stay away from this. I don't know why it does this, but when you put it in your pedal chain it cuts signal strength, as if the maximum volume on the pots are set at 3/4 of the incoming signal.
Also, you *can* repair them when the string breaks, but you'll hate yourself for it and wish you'd just bought a better volume pedal. I like the BOSS FV500H myself, even though it is huge. But stay away from this one.

This is probably the best volume pedal of its kind, meaning the kind which uses a pot (potentiometer) to adjust volume. Most volume pedals work this way. The problem is that the pots do wear down over time, leading to scratchy sound and uneven performance. It's an inevitability you're stuck with unless you're willing to shell out for an optical pedal (to be described later in this review).
It seems that some users don't realize that you can adjust the volume swell rates on these things. That's a nice feature. It's well built and doesn't seem to suck tone, which is very important to an acoustic musician such as myself. It does suck a little bit of volume.
In response to the other review: no, it's not for keyboards. Perhaps you were misled by a salesperson, but there are two versions of this pedal - one for passive instruments (model 6180, high-impedance 250k) and one for active instruments (model 6181, low impedance 25k). This page is for the passive model. A keyboard signal is a low-impedance signal and is not appropriate for this version of the pedal. A typical high-impedance signal would be a passive pickup in an acoustic guitar. The model you get depends on your instrument and where along the chain you put it. For example, if I put it between the guitar and preamp, then I should use the high-impedance model, but if I were putting it between the preamp and the amp, then the low-impedance model is the one.
All that said, the best volume pedals you can get are probably the George Dennis models. They use an optical system, there there's no pot to inevitably wear down. Also, they are impedance-switching, so one pedal will take care of you, no matter where you put it. They don't suck tone either. They'll run you about $130, but are well worth the money.

Another store suggested this as a volume pedal for a keyboard. With its sturdy build, it seemed worth the extra money. Because it has audio in and out, it can in theory be used on any electronic instrument.
The result was disappointing for me. From full volume, the sound is flawless. Then barely moving the pedal downward causes the volume to cut in half, followed by a smooth decrease in volume from there. This may work for guitars, but not for keyboards.
I will be returning this to the store I got it from. Based on the other review here, it is likely a guitar player will be quite happy with it.

Just like the bigger ernie ball volume this was sized down from, this pedal is incredible and has to be near-indestructible. The pedal has a very smooth action and uses a kevlar chord instead of gears or optics to alter the potentiometer. Very nice in deed and a great deal.
