Product Description

Ernie Ball EB6180 VP-JR, Volume Pedal

Ernie Ball volume pedals have always been considered the Rolls Royce in their field. The VP-JR does this claim justice. The high quality manufacturing and extreme sturdiness guarantee the best value for an - admittedly - slightly higher price. Since there is rarely enough space on the pedal board, the VP-JR (= junior) is built to be smaller than its bigger brother, but this has no impact on the quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

The VP-JR offers the same core quality and durability but in a smaller footprint, sacrificing some of the larger model’s extended range of motion and more advanced taper options.
While usable, a bass player might prefer a more expressive audio taper for more nuanced swells. Linear offers predictable volume changes, but lacks the dramatic roll-off some bassists seek.
Absolutely. The 250k Ohm pot handles higher signal levels gracefully, preventing unwanted noise or distortion even with hot pickups.
