Boss FV-500-H

Its made by Boss so as you can expect its near enough unbreakable. Really impressed with this and a definite improvement on my Ernie Ball Volume pedal that became faulty on a few occasions. The metal enclosure feels really rugged and I have had no issue in using this day after day, it has been faultless. The only minor issue I have encountered has been when using the tuner output, this is a fault that is found in nearly all volume pedals, what you will find is a distinct drop in the treble (top end) of your tone. This can be easily fixed by placing a good quality dedicated buffer after the volume pedal, I personally use a JHS Little Black Buffer but there is loads that would do the job. Another feature I really liked is the ability to change the rigidity of the pedal sweep with a small screw underneath. Excellent buy and something that will last for many year!

I bought this to use as an expression pedal mode with my Fractal Axe FX II unit. It worked perfectly straight out of the box, and was very easy to set up. It is suitably well built to withstand being stomped on night after night. Just remember that you will also need a TRS cable when using it as an expression pedal.
It has a tuner out socket and there is adjustable volume control which is very useful for dialing in the taper of the sweep and the size of the pedal allows your foot to rest very comfortably on it, giving you more accurate control for volume swells etc.
Highly recommended.

Got it for ambient sweeps and basic volume regulation - gets the work done.
+The pedal feels great and is really easy to use. Movement is smooth got used to it and completely owned all functions I wanted already after the first 10 minutes.
+Volume control knob is very useful if youre using it for some boosting action in live performances.
+The size of this pedal is large enough for "Big Foot's feet". As a guy with a 11.5 foot size love it.
+Aluminum body aint that heavy and feel like a real thing, not some plastic toy.
-Not pedalboard friendly. It's really big but the size makes it comfortable.
-It's Not "active" for some of guitarists that's a breaking point, but to be honest isn't that big of a difference.
Overall, a great volume pedal. The price is way too small for the quality. Yes it's big, and the aluminum body makes it a bit heavy, but that makes it very convenient to use. Volume and expression functions works great, what else do you need?
