this pedal is smooth, good weight, the taper is perfect, it doesn’t need any power. I use it to lower my 20 w combo amp 8n my bedroom, it’s too much power,even at the lowest setting. So I turn up the a,p to a good sound, and lower the whole thing w the FLIPVOL. Great expression oedal too, I used it in my Matribox pro II, theres and input for it. and I use it on my JHS pink panther delay, that was fun. Great expression pedal. It feels solid and smooth, and easy to control, not too heavy, but it stays on the floor, not too small for my feel. really good design
