  • Potentiometer resistance: most of the devices can work effectively with a volume pedal with a potentiometer resistance range of 5000 Ohm to 50000 Ohm. Although you can find this range quite well suitable, there are few instruments or device that are quite specific in their needs. You must know the resistance range of your device and buy a volume pedal of that range only. If the match is not set between the resistance of your instrument and the volume pedal it can give you limited range, notch, jumping or in some instances it’s possible that the clutch will not work at all.
  • Taper: potentiometer taper is an integral aspect you must not ignore. The taper is essential as it is responsible for determining how the electric resistance will change with the proportional mechanic movement. Most of the time the resistance of the pedals moves in linear proportion to the device, but this may not be true always. You need to know the taper of the volume pedal and that of your instrument.
  • Wiring: it is another critical aspect you must keep in mind before buying a volume pedal. Generally, a potentiometer has three connectors, wiper, clockwise and anticlockwise. Although, there are many ways of wiring these connectors but most of the time they give the same result. There are three variants in connecting the pedal with the potentiometer wiring each set is responsible for a different outcome. So you must know all the three combined and the output it gives to get the best result from the volume pedal.
