That's Audio Taper... Linear Taper is better for loud playin and pedals me think...

I finally went with the Ernie Ball VP Jr 25k.

I want to thank you all for your recommendation. Looks exactly like what I had in mind, and
I'm pretty sure I'd have gotten something stupider and more expensive if not for you!
Salut! I love fuzz

haha
april fools
we got you good
that thing blows haha
nah it is good
i stand on my vols
and pump them back n forth
like one of them underbed stairclimber things
i know theres another way
and the morley i can tell wil break soon
the eb seems indestructable
good choice

i have a regular EB volume pedal and a stereo volume/pan pedal i use to switch between loopers. each is sturdy enough that i think i could use them as wheel chocks.

since he picked a vol pedal
can you explain the difference
between linear and audio taper
and can it be done on the junior

Audio pots work on a curve and are supposed to function close to how our ears actually hear. )

Linear is just a straight line /

I would believe it is possible to switch the pots in the pedal as long as you could find a replacement that has that spindle on it for the string. Or based upon looking at the picture you could get a long shaft pot and if that spindle can unscrew, then you could just put it on the new long shaft pot.

I remember reading an article about some guy examining the pots used in ernie balls because the real old ones had a different curve then newer ones and thus didn't react the same. So he was on a quest to try and replicate it.

Here it is: http://www.mk-guitar.com/2010/09/07/ern ... dley-poti/

It might just be a reverse audio pot.

The trade-off with volume pedals is "Good Sweep vs. Doesn't Suck Tone"

The potentiometer has a 250k ohm resistance suitable for the audio path of passive instruments. Behind the jack area under the footplate is a micro taper switch which provides the user two distinct volume swell rates. Overall Volume Pedal Junior dimensions: 3.5" W x 10" L x2 3/8" H . The main pivot shaft is of centerless ground 1/2' diameter stainless steel, precision seated though nylon bushings at both ends. Tough long lasting Kevlar cable transmits pedal travel to the controls and is attached by stainless steel springs.

it's a little two-position switch similar to those seen in some larger devices' internal applications.

ooooh doggy

am i gonna be blown away
or should i crank up the hearing aid
