Ernie Ball makes a fine volume pedal for the money. I love my VP Jr Passive Volume Pedal! It's clean, transparent, eats none of my signal, and gives me the active control I need while playing live. It is nice looking on my pedal board and takes up less realestate than the other pedals in their line. And, it requires no power. Sweet! Let me include, however, that I originally bought the VP Jr Active 25, because that's what the Ernie Ball folks recommended for the active pickup in my acoustic guitar (Fishman Stereo Blender, 9v powered). I was concerned that the Active 25 pedal has only a 25k resistor in it's circuitry, whereas the VP Jr Passive has a 250k resistor. Less resistance for an active pickup that has a stonger signal and visa-versa didn't make any sense to me, but that's what they said I should use. The Active 25 ate about 10 db of my signal strength and the volume sweep was intensley concentrated at the last bit of the pedal's throw - not good. So, I tried the VP Jr Passive. What a difference! Not only does it NOT eat any signal at all (flat, like my Radial JDI MK3), it has a sweep profile switch that allows choice between two different sweep profiles. One of them is much more gradual, allowing much more gain at the earlier part of the pedal's throw. In conclusion, I highly recommend that you try both with your guitar before buying. It'll save you all the trips to the store that I had to make.
I have been playing guitar for about 7 years now and have been playing live for about a year(which is why I needed this pedal). The Ernie Ball VP JR is a great choice for anyone who needs greater control over their volume in order to produce a more dynamic sound. When creating swells, it just doesn't get much better. You can put your full weight onto the pedal and it will still pivot smoothly, overall a good purchase for any serious musicians.
This pedal is deffinately worth every penny spent. I bought this pedal several months ago and still have no regrets! With a steel casing this pedal is a brick, virtually indestructible! It has a very wide range so you can set it to the perfect level with ease! It uses a pot very simmiliar to the volume knob on your guitar. Which can only mean one thing...No power supply needed! It also has an inline tuner output. I would reccomend it to anyone, beginner of pro!
