I'm pretty sure all peddles are variable, that's the whole reasoning for them, to control your heat with your foot instead of your finger (finger control).
Jake and Black,
Try adjusting your heat up to 200 and use the peddle to practice making puddles. Get the arc started slowly and slowly increase your heat to build up the puddle. You'll be amazed at the heat ranges you're going to use when welding aluminum, even on the thinner materials.
This video is great, he's a pretty good weldor to. Check out at around 1:30 where he's using a metronome to keep track of his filler dabs. Keeps them in motion and consistent. Most of all, look at the angle of his torch and stick out of his tunk, very important

Haha, we have a wireless pedal at the shop. They don't get much use, I prefer the button.
It's nice and all but I prefer wired. That's what I have at the house for both my machines as well as the button.
This is "the button"
