Volume Pedal Confusion

[wezx]

Hi, I know this has been discussed ad nauseum, but several of the posts have conflicting information, leaving me still with questions. My signal path is as follows

Guitar with active EMG's >>>> Line 6 POD XT Live (set to "line" setting) >>>>

EB Volume Pedal >>>> Mixing Board


Active or passive Volume pedal?

Thanks!

Active heres why

Passive vs. Active: Whenever there is a passive signal leading into an EB pedal, the 250K or 500K pedal is recommended (mono VP Pro & VP Pro JR 250K and stereo 500K VP pedals available). Whenever there is an active signal (powered preamp, powered pedal, effects loop, etc.) leading into an EB pedal, the 25K pot is recommended. If an active signal is placed before a 250K or 500K EB pedal, or if a passive signal is placed before a 25K EB pedal, then the consequence may be that the swell of the pedal does not act as designed. Either way, as stated above, try whatever combination you desire, and determine if it works for you
