| I have diabetes lost the feeling in my feet and is going to my ankles, I don't have the control I onces had and get a volume serge now and then. I've got a Ernie Ball vol. pedal. and I'm thinking of trying a pot with less taper to it. Not nowing much about pots is there one that would not be as sensitive? Thanks |

I have similar neuropathy in my feet caused by Chemo. I don't have as much problem as you do and actually have more problems with pedals than I do the volume pedal. I use a Hilton Volume Pedal.
If memory serves me correctly the Ernie Ball's have a 250K pot in them where the "standard" for a steel guitar volume pedal is 500K. |

| Thanks Jack. I had a time keeping my feet on the peddle, once in a while I'll get off know. But it's better. I set back and keep looking down. Thanks again I'll give a 500 a try. |

Richard -
Like Jack Stoner, I use a Hilton low-profile pedal. It's smooth as silk and effortless. Just might be an answer to your problem.
Hope this helps.
