Do you mean high or low value, like the 25K and 250K Ernie Ball pedals?
If so, the 25K is designed for active outputs. It gives a more predictable taper when inserted in line after an onboard preamp, EMG pickups, or a pedal that is always-on, or doesn't have true bypass. The 25K pretty much has to go after some sort of active preamp or pedal. If you plug a passive bass straight into it without some sort of buffer, it will load the bass down and make it sound mushy.The 250K is designed to go right after a passive instrument (or a passive instrument into a rarely-on pedal with true bypass). The 250K will work after pedals, but the taper will be a little off- not so great for swells.
Okay, so the bass I play most of the time has active pickups, but everyone once in a while I play my Squier Jazz with Basslines. Which vol pedal would I want to get?
