If if I was after one again I’d be looking at a bypassable/buffered effect with adjustable taper along with a good expression pedal. The way Strymon have implemented it in the Sunset, for example, is a brilliant idea, or the Earthquaker Swiss Things for example

I personally don't like the Ernie Balls despite them being some sort of industry standard - I don't like the steep heel-down position, pot taper or string mechanism which can break and is a total pain to replace. I much prefer Boss, especially the big metal ones, but the small plastic ones are surprisingly good too.

Thanks all for your input.
Dunlop one that Guthrie Govan uses based on the volume swell stuff he did with Hans Zimmer live, but mainly the price.
I was expecting issues with it, but it’s been great up front or in the loop. The tuner out is really useful too
Ive heard lots of good things about the Moyo volume pedals from Colorado. He has a shop on Reverb, that u could check out. I might get one of those at some stage as its good and compact, that, or I might just get the Dunlop (mini) for the price , which seems to be really well liked.
I had the mini AMT version which is just garbage, and the Mission VM Pro, which had a very sudden sweep, even with adjustments.
I just had my venerable EB repaired - new pot and string - after fifteen years of use. So they do need maintenance, but you might go a fair time before it becomes necessary.
I really wanted to like the smaller Boss one, but the sweep felt odd.
Having spoken with Lehle, I know they are considering a smaller model of their pedal. That's what I'm hoping for.
