I've always had the volume ped attached to my secondary RH sound only, and when I used it to bring in strings or choirs, it's right next to my sustain ped, so it was easy to flip back and forth. For organ or brass use - most times, I no longer required the sustain, so I rest fully on the volume for expression. In most cases, I don't use the ped unless I know I will be doing alot of organ leads, and that's rare in my dance jobs.

For a jazzier, more intimate crowd - it's a great addition.
