Dunlop used to make a very good one but I'm not sure if it's still in production.I have a Yamaha volume pedal that's really good.

Ernie Ball is pretty much standard. Great pedals.

I'm currently using the Fender Volume/Tone pedal and I have to say that I love it. Over the years I've owned Morley's and Ernie Ball's and comparatively speaking the Fender is as good if not better IMHO. It's buit like a brick shithouse and weighs a ton but it does exactly what its supposed to do with no exraneous noise. And it also works as a tone control ie up and down for volume and left to right as a tone control which does come in handy every once in awhile.

I had an original Fender Fuzz Wah that worked the same as the volume/tone pedal. It was heavy, slow, and eventually made all kinds of mechanical noise.
It worked the same way up and down/side to side. I gave that away after the second Fender Fuzz Wah came out. The giant cast aluminum job with the three thumbwheel controls. It has the standard rack and pinion setup and I still own it and use it today. It's still a little slow because of its massive size.

Be sure to try the reissue tone/volume control in person if you consider it. My vote is still Ernie Ball.

Yep. You try the rest. You stick with the best.
Simple. Straight forward. Does its job yet doesn't do anything you don't want it to do. Doesn't break.

Yep, no bells and whistles, LED flashing lights or tons of chrome, nice throw, nice controlled swells.

Thanks everybody fir some great advice and liinks. I'm planning a road trip to the nearest GC to test a few out. Ernie ball seems like a meat and potatos kind of pedal. This should be fun!
