Volume Pedals

Try Boss GE7. Does the job well.

How's the brother supposed to do the s we ll l ll s with a GE-7? Get it yet?

Anymore suggestions for a volume pedal, please?

I'm looking to buy a volume pedal for doing ambient volume swells. Ideally, the volume pedal would have stereo output jacks so that I can also potentially use it as a splitter for stereo amps or to make a stereo effects chain. Both my amps have effects loops, so I intend to place the volume pedal either at the end of effects chain before the amp(s), or at the bginning of the amp's effects loop (I feel the optimum place for a volume pedal is after all gain stages - I don't want it to impact on gain).

I'm worried about tone suck / signal loss. Is a passive volume pedal usually better for avoiding tone suck?

Are the Boss volume pedals good? (either the longstanding plastic ones, or the more recent metal ones)

Boss volume pedals are meant to be pretty good, except they're pretty heavy. Although I'm not sure how the whole stereo idea would work.

The low impedance version of the Boss one (the FV-500L) is stereo. I am not sure if it would split your mono signal to stereo though or whether it is a case of mono in - mono out and stereo in - stereo out.

The manual should confirm.
