Post Help me with impedance questions...
Hi guys

I'm wondering what impedance should I use for my volume pedal. I currently use a Stick with the Stickup, but run it through a preamp, then both signals are going to guitar stompboxes. There's plenty of volume pedal out there with various impedances : 25, 50, 250, 500k
What should be the best for my needs and equipment?
Thanks a lot!

Bruno

can you run your volume pedal after the preamp?
Then I believe it wont matter what impedance the volume pedal is..
I may be wrong

Yes, it will be between stompboxes, thus after the preamp.

Hi Bruno,

One thing to keep in mind is that passive volume pedals will change the tone as they lower the volume, even if placed after another pedal. Active volume pedals will not.
