Re: proel volume/expression pedals

[Sean Echevarria <sean_@mindspring.com>]

Same experience here - I'll add the Dunlop GCB-81 (or was it 80?) and 
Roland FV-300 volume pedals to the list of pedals that don't 'go to 0'.  I 
use them in front of the preamp and for low-gain clean guitar sounds 
they're ok - but hi-gain distortion, only ErnieBall results in nothing 
getting thru to the pre.
