The Ernie Ball Volume 6166 is a pretty basic volume pedal designed for use with electric guitars and basses. There isn't too much to say about the pedal beyond that it doesn't need power and has a 1/4 inch input and output and also has another 1/4 inch jack to send your tuner out from. The pedal isn't rackable as it is a foot controller pedal.
UTILIZATION
There isn't much to the make up of this pedal at all and is just about as straight forward as it gets. It has a simple foot controller that goes up and down and allows you to control the level of your output. No one should have any issues with this pedal at all and for this reason a manual is not necessary.
SOUND QUALITY
Since this pedal doesn't really make any sounds of its own, not too much can be said about the sound quality, but it is noteworthy to say that the pedal won't color your tone at all and provides a clean output. The pedal is great for volume swells and for cutting off all of the sound from your guitar in between songs and whenever you want complete silence. While this can be done with the volume knob on your guitar, there is something about having the control at your feet that makes it really easy and convenient. I use this pedal with a Fender Strat and a Fender Twin Reverb and I'm always happy with it because it won't tint my sound and provides me with much needed control.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Ernie Ball Volume 6166 pedal for about two years or so and even though it is basic in make up, so are all volume pedals. I like this version of the volume pedal because it has a very sturdy build and is put together nicely. I've never had a problem with this pedal and if you treat it right it will last you for a very long time. The price of the Ernie Ball Volume 6166 is about average for a volume pedal, but to me this is a better buy than most of the other volume pedals out there because of the shape and sturdiness of the pedal. If you are looking for a great volume pedal that will get the job done without any issues, the Ernie Ball Volume 6166 is the way to go.
