I didn't think it would have any effect on my case. It's just a word used for emphasis in my stubborn lash-back. Why bother even pointing that out?

Gibson Les Paul guitars have independent volume and tone knobs for its pickups, so you simply turn down to zero the volume knob for the neck pickup (while having the bridge pickup one fully maxed), toggle the pickup selector and there you have it, instant cut-off switch! Smile
 


I know but Randy Rhoads had button he'd depress (I think on his V) and it seemed to allow more freedom of expression with it..  Meniketti uses the volume switch on Gibsons and Carvins as you're saying though

Goodrich  makes really good volume pedals. Even the lower priced models are top-notch compared to most others. If you have the bucks (or quid; didn't notice where you were from) extra to spare, I would suggest Goodrich to anyone.

The other guitarist in my band just got an Ernie Ball VP Jr. I tried it and it sounds and works great. Goodrich also makes fantastic volume pedals but they are a bit pricey.

^Yep, like I said, not everyone can afford to invest in one, but they are reliable and sound great and natrual.
 
Ernie Ball volume pedals have been known to break sooner that other brands, which I why I haven't gotten one yet. Otherwise, they are very good, and if you take good care of them, they can probably last longer than others.

Im supporting the Pod XT live. I have one, and it is the best multi-effects board I have ever bought. I think it was worth the $400 that I paid for it.

Yeah, getting a kill switch installed is very easy to do.  Even if you give your guitar to a store and tell them to do it it will cost you under thirty dollars, possible under twenty.  I have switches on all mine, but a button would be just as easy to do.  It's nice, not only for the effect, but when you're jamming with people and you're trying to stop and say something or set your guitar down, just flick it up and your signals dead and good you're good to go.

Got no complaints with my Goodrich.  Now if I could just learn to play that pedal steel...

It's built like a tank and works with no issues, I'm quite taken with mine, you know......

I had to replace a flood damaged guitar effects box.  I got a Line 6 Floor Pod Plus that has one, which my last effects box didn't.  I must confess I'm too busy to mess with the volume pedal.  It's got 120 pretty decent presets I'm still exploring. LOL
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
