Description
Give your passive instrument the mono volume it needs.
The Ernie Ball Mono Volume Pedal lets you control your instrument's output with the push of your foot. The potentiometer has a 250kOhm resistance suitable for the audio path of passive instruments only. Behind the jack area under the footplate is a taper switch, which provides the user two distinct volume swell rates. Attached to the volume pedal's footplate is an on/off switch connected to the jack labeled "Switch". This is an isolated circuit and may be used for controlling other music gear in your system like amp channel switching, effects bypass, etc.

Features and functionality
-
The VPJr pedal's effects loop allows the volume pedal to control the gain of overdrives like a guitar's volume knob, providing nuanced control over gain settings.
Source -
The VPJr Anniversary edition avoids pot limitations, making it suitable for setups with active pickups, offering seamless transition between different guitars without swapping pedals.
Source -
The VP JR 250k's lack of sweep adjustability can be a limitation; users suggest trying different volume pedals if unsatisfied.
Source
Use cases and applications
-
Using the VPJr pedal in the effects loop can help achieve clean tails on modulation, reverb, and delay pedals while cutting the signal to avoid 60Hz hum with single-coil pickups.
Source -
Placement after drive pedals and before modulation is generally recommended, but subjective to personal pedal chain preferences.
Source
Setup and maintenance
-
The VP JR 250k may not provide optimal sweep with guitars that have 500k pots, as observed with a Tokai Les Paul setup.
Source
Mods and upgrades
-
Internal dip switches in the Xotic EP Booster can be adjusted to potentially mitigate issues with pedal order and clipping.
