I ordered one, since I might be needing my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe again for playing out again.. tired of not being able to dial up some nice "growl" when I need it..

The Volume Box lets you expand the range of usable volume of your amp and dial in much more "open" and "driven tube" tones at lower/ more manageable volumes (without driving your neighbors crazy!). A great way to discover a whole new range of tones on your amplifier!
The Volume Box adds another much more responsive and manageable audio taper volume control into the circuit of your amp by simply plugging in into the effects loop, no mods required whatsoever and no danger of harming your amplifier. It solves the problem of an EXTREMELY touchy volume knob on your amp, you know what I mean: zero has no volume but 1 or 2 is already MUCH too loud. The Volume Box takes care of that with its nice smooth Audio Taper Control, DEFINITELY the most cost effective investment you can make for your amp!

A lot of folks fuss about the volume control on a HRD but I gigged with one for 5 years and that never bothered me much. I set the knob at 3 & 1/2 and used a tube screamer for dirt and solo boost. Great amp.
