How is the EV-2 as an analog volume pedal?

Considering buying a 2-in-1 pedal that can be an expression pedal for my FM3, but also a volume pedal for my pedalboard rig.

How are you guys liking it as an analog volume pedal? Does it compare favorably to dedicated volume pedals, like the Dunlop pedals and Lehle’s? Is it high or low impedance?

Thanks!
 
It has a linear pot, so will rise from silence quickly in the first half of its travel, and the last half of its travel will be slower. Good for rhythm/lead volume control, as it gives more granular volume control in the top half of its range....

You will want a buffer before it, as it is somewhat lower impedance than a guitar volume pedal. All viable expression pedals will be a bit low for unbuffered guitar signal....

No... The EV pedals designed smartly for both functions. From the product page:

Each EV pedal can also serve as an analog volume pedal, with separate IN and OUT jacks connected to an audio-taper pot.

When you’re not using it as an expression pedal, the EV also works as a top-quality 500K high-impedance analog volume pedal. It is perfect for use with passive pickups and designed never to cause “tone suck.” No other pedals give you the same great combination of features, quality, and value as the Fractal Audio EV Series.

I have not used mine as analog pedals because I have to need, but from what I've read they are quite excellent for that purpose.
