I'm looking for a little, single knob, true bypass volume pedal that will have exactly the same effect as rolling down my guitar's volume knob, ie keeping the treble, not muddying up. I guess something like the EHX Signal Pad, but better perhaps. I understand it can get muddy by not keeping the highs.
I'm not looking for a wah format style volume pedal. I'd like a switch and a dial. Can anyone recommend anything? I'd imagine it's a simple build circuit, that just requires the right components to act like a volume knob.
I know some light OD pedals can be used to this effect but there isn't much space between unity gain and below, plus it can impose the pedals tone on the signal.

Or, Bright Onion have a good rep and do one ...

What would be the wisdom. See what's in my guitar and basically copy that values, cap and all?

With treble bleed caps I've always found it's hard to get a value that does the job without sounding thinner when the pots turned down. A better way to do it would be guitar signal into buffer - volume pot after buffer

I was just trying the master channel of a Super Duper and that seemed to work. So something like a Channel 2 would also work, as a single footswitch option.
I'm in two minds though, to reduce volume after my Muff (same tone but quieter), or to reduce the signal into it, giving more of an overdriven, less fuzzy sound.
