Ernie Ball Get's Volume Pedals Right

Product Review
Ernie Ball is really the first company that got the volume pedal right. I own at least 10 of these units, and I have at least 1 sometimes 2 on each of my main guitar rigs. These last forever. This is perfect for attenuating tube amps when used in the effects loop; Crank the amp's volume and gain (if you want the dirty gain,) then use the Ernie Ball 6180 in the effects loop to turn down the output volume so you can get that huge tube/valve amp sound at reasonable (even quiet) sound levels which works live, in the studio, and at home for practice. This is a perfect unit for volume swells, that Malmsteen/Eric Johnson/Steve Vai violin effect. This is perfect for boosting your lead sounds during live gigs. You will find this unit in millions of bedrooms, studios, clubs, and arenas all around the world. That should speak for itself.

This is very well constructed. It has a great foot feel over the sweep. Very controllable. What I love the most is that this does not color or alter the tone in any way whatsoever. The potentiometer in it is apparently a very good one. I use it for swells but also run it to where its limiting volume at around 20% (80% level) and step on it wide open for lead solos.
And as always, American Musical Supply is the absolute best music gear company in the world. They cannot be matched in sgipping,customer service or flexibility in your purchases.

This volume pedal is great. It does what it does very well. Great for swells. I really enjoy the addition of an easier tuner connection for my board also.

I just ordered another one for a new pedal board, I’ve got an old one on my old analog pedal board that’s 10 years old.
Still going strong, if you do whale calls this is the one to get!

Simplistic but very effective. My only complaint is I wish they would provide better instructions on how to rig this up to be most effective. It took a lot of trial and error but once I figured it out it preformed flawlessly

No doubt. Always have had success with Ernie Ball VP
Haven't used this particular pedal yet: But based on past use of this EB product, I know it is made to last.

Great, just getting used to the "JR." Model, a bit smaller (not by much though) but appears to be the exact copy of the original.
