I play for my college jazz ensemble and in a jazz setting the guitar volume is important. During the song, i have it at low volume as my professer hates guitarists who drown the whole band with high volume, as the guitar is made to blend in with the band. and when its time for me to take a solo i step on this baby so i cut through the mix and it does the job well. It does what its made to do. My favorite volume pedal because its nicely priced, simple and easy to use, heavy and rugged, doesn't need pots (my friend's dunlop volume pedal had a bad pot and cost half the price of the pedal to fix) and more importantly imo, is thr fact that is American made. Dont drink the koolaid on spending over a hundred bucks  for a "decked out with many features" pedal.
