Description
The VP JR shrinks the classic Ernie Ball volume pedal footprint down without cutting corners on the mechanism that made it a board staple. It’s a smart pick for players who want real volume control—swells, kills, dynamic rides—but don’t have room to spare between a wah and a looper.
- 250k ohm potentiometer, matched to the audio path of passive pickups so your tone stays uncolored as you sweep the pedal.
- A micro taper switch tucked under the footplate replaces the bulky full-size switch found on standard models, freeing up valuable board real estate.
- That same switch lets you choose between two distinct swell rates, so you can dial in a quicker volume ramp or a longer, more gradual fade depending on the part.
- Mechanically, it’s built like a proper stage pedal: a centerless ground stainless steel pivot shaft, half an inch in diameter, rides in nylon bushings at both ends for a smooth, wobble-free sweep over years of use.
- Pedal travel is transmitted to the pot via a Kevlar cable anchored with stainless steel springs—strong enough to shrug off aggressive foot work without stretching or fraying.
Place it right after your guitar for volume swells and clean pickup rolls, or later in the chain for output trimming and hands-free level changes between songs. Either way, the VP JR gives you that control in a chassis sized to actually fit on a crowded board.
