Pzychotropic, I’m old fashioned and use the volume knob on my Strats. What a great effect to throw in. I’m not what you would call a master, but I can vibe a few in here and there. Roy Buchanan and my teacher are my inspirations. If you go to myspace and find Richard Mac, he has been my teacher for about 3 years. I don’t take lessons now, but he is a great player. I mean great. He is a volume swell guy elite.

Interesting article once again! I used to dabble with volume controlled stuff many years ago. I used a gutted crybaby wah pedal (I’ve managed to wear out half a dozen of those in my time), in combination with an MXR dynacomp pedal and a Copycat delay to give a really effective moody swell.
My inspiration came from John Martyn, who made very effective use of the volume pedal on some of his tracks.
