| The norm is to use a high-impedance VP – 500Kohm or so. However, if the VP will always be preceded by an active buffer I prefer to use a low-impedance VP – 50Kohm or so. |

| As Georg says, the "norm" for passive pedals is high impedance; one with a 500k pot. Also, make sure you buy one designed for pedal steel use. That way, you won't be troubled by a pedal with the wrong playing angle, or jacks in the wrong place. |

Russel: Why do you ask?
Is there a specific VP that you're looking at buying?
Some other reason? |
