The Better Volume Pedal - L.A. or EB???

[Juniper570]

Which is better........the Ernie Ball Volume or the Vai Little Alligato. I have to say..... I am a little disappointed in my Bad Horsie. Is it jut Morely????

I think most people in the end were disappointed with their Bad Horsie... don't let that sway your opinion.

The real question is... Why would you want to use a battery in a volume pedal? *Just wastes money, creates extra signal noise and honestly, doesn't do anything better than the battery-free Ernie Ball.

Just to add to Jay's comments above...

The 9V battery power (on the LA and Morley PW or Volume II) is for the adjustment in 'level' bleed through (which in itself doesn't take too much power but the universal 9V will do it just fine and is the 'norm' to using it.

I opted for the LA (got in trade otherwise would've bought the non endorsed Morley one...for much cheaper) specifically because of the size it takes up on my pedal board.

The ernie ball I'll admit was smoother and had a nicer roll..but..space is a commodity to me on my board....

my foot learned to adjust just well.

and the volume bleed adjustment is a handy feature to use every now and then.

my 2 cents.

It's next to the Bad Horsie on my board; I think it looks better because they match.

And as far as battery-power goes, I just use a power supply.
