Product Description

Ernie Ball EB6181 VP JR Volume Pedal, Keyboard Volume Pedal

Ernie Ball volume pedals have always been considered the Rolls Royce in their field. The EB6181 does this claim justice. The high quality manufacturing and extreme sturdiness guarantee the best value for an - admittedly - slightly higher price.

Designed for keyboards - but is best for the FX loop of a guitar amp, in which case it functions as Master Volume while the guitar potentiometer controls the distortion.

Since there is rarely enough space on the pedal board, the Junior is built to be smaller than its big brother, the EB6167, but this has no impact on the quality.

  • Junior 25 kOhm version
  • Mono
  • Smaller version of the EB6167
  • 1 Input
  • 1 Output
  • 1 Tuner output
PROS
  • • Robust construction using high-grade metal alloys ensures lasting durability.
  • • Compact Junior size saves valuable pedalboard real estate without compromise.
  • • 25k Ohm taper provides a smooth, predictable volume sweep for expressive control.
  • • Excellent as a master volume in an amp’s FX loop, retaining clarity.
CONS
  • • Premium-priced compared to some budget volume pedals, but justified by quality.
  • • Limited functionality beyond volume control; lacks expression pedal versatility.
  • • Mono output restricts stereo signal handling for certain advanced setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a simple signal pass-through for a tuner, allowing you to tune while the pedal is engaged without interrupting your signal flow.
While technically possible, the linear taper isn’t ideal for wah-like effects; an audio taper would offer a more natural response.
It’s noticeably smaller than full-size options, roughly half the footprint of many competitors, making it perfect for crowded pedalboards.
