Morley little alligator volume pedal

Has anyone on the board used or owned one before?

I've just ordered one today with the intentions of using it for swells. One intro to a song i play with my band starts with a clean part with delay sort of van halen cathedral-esque.

Do you think i will be happy this pedal or should i consider a different pedal?

Just use your volume control?

Also, the reason i ask is that a few h.c. reviews make me wonder if it's not the right one to buy.

That is what i've been doing, but using a pedal would free up my picking hand. I sustain my chords untill it repeats, slowly turning down the volume... and once that is said i hit another chord. Ahh shit i would rather post a clip but i have no way to tonight.

Are the differences in volume pedals really all that big?

I have a Morley volume pedal with an adjustable sweep control. Seems to do the trick. Good for cello swells.

dude, i've tried the pedal. it sucks. the control is non-linear, meaning that it's very hard to precisely control your volume. plus, it sucks the tone out of your guitar. i returned the pedal and got an ernie ball vp jr. instead.

Hey man, where did you have the pedal placed? Before the amp, or in a effects loop.

Now i can see why there are so many negative reviews... most of them are because they put it in front of a distorted amp, and sure many people wouldnt like that.

Well the pedal sould be here by monday. I also got a few components to mod my delay pedal for warmer sounding repeats. Cant wait to get some packages at the door step.
