Volume footswitches/pedals for a Guitar

[MaryPoppins]

Is this for Mary Poppins' benefit?

[Bagpuss]

Can I have whatever he is on?

I plug my guitar into the Mac and then a small perl script sorts out the rest.

[Cowboy Bob]

I use one of these in conjunction with this and it rocks hard.

Depends what you want it for really. Normally a volume pedal is a rocker style pedal like a wah, that lets you fade from silence up to full volume. It goes between the guitar and amp so it's just varying the signal strength, same effect as rolling back the volume on the guitar itself. If you're looking for something that you can stomp on occasionally to give a bit of a volume boost then you can get volume boost switches or overdrive pedals that will do that.

So I'm looking for a foot switch to control the volume on my guitar.

Do I need a pedal or are there switches?

Difficult to fathom these things out on the internet.

I just want a switch really loud/quiet.

There's a combined volume and wah-wah pedal, but only Jeff Beck knows how to use it properly.
