Looking for a certain effect in PTMP9

[passion4music]

So I stumbled across a video that inspired me for guitar recording.
Here is the link, you probably have heard of this musician.
If not, you'll probably like it too.

What effect would I need to use to make a similar style like this one?
As you probably notice, this musician uses a volume pedal.
I do not have the budget for that right now.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
