I bought this pedal for some basic ambient playing. I was into buying Dunlop DVP 3 but I have a pretty basic setup, which is mostly DAW based, so wanted to save a bit. I aimed to use the pedal with active EMGs, which was clearly stated in the description of Ernie Ball (couldn't see that on the Dunlop, maybe that works properly with actives too).
For now, I have no complaints and think the kevlar string gives a headroom for using the pedal as an expression pedal too in the long run.
