All user reviews of 5/5 for the Ernie Ball 6180 VP Jr 250K

An excellent volume pedal used by the majority of professional and guitar hero. This one is for the declination instrument with passive pickups.
Also notes an aditional output allows to connect a acordeur so without altering the signal path or spitter then the signal into two to play two amps or so doing re-amping.

UTILIZATION

If you put in the beginning of string and you play with a big distortion is dynamic or a single channel amp, you will be able to grace this pedal, go for a nice crunch to heavy distortion or clean to saturation.
At the end of the chain, it allows to reduce the volume until the cut.
In addition, it can also serve as expression pedal. It works well with Line6 M9 or M13 for example.

SOUND QUALITY

Very transparent. Impecable. Nothing to say.

OVERALL OPINION

Essential in all good config, if he was to remain one, this would be it.

This is a volume pedal. Plain and simple. You don't need editing options, digital conversions, thoughts whether it's best with a tube or a transistor. This is pure analog. You get a 1/4" inputs, output and tuner jack. It says 'Tuner Out' on the pedal, but it is in fact just a parallel signal, so you could actually use this, as a passive split, should you feel the need for that.


UTILIZATION

I bought this pedal as an expression pedal to run along my G-system. The space at my began to be a bit crowded with all the 6166 volume pedals (the big brother to the 6180 VP Jr. hence the name), so I went for this instead.
You do get a Jr. pedal, that's for sure. I don't mind at all, but if you got a big foot, like a size 11 or 12, you might get into trouble with this one.
When using it as an expression pedal with the G-system, you have to take into account, that you'll miss the last few percent of range. You won't be able to hear it though, as the G-system adapts to the range, and still provide you with 100% range.

SOUND QUALITY

As I wrote in my review of the 6166 :"This is were you might find some issues. I've not experienced it myself, even though I'm a huge sucker for tone, but some people complain about the fact, that this pedal takes away some of your treble signal, when pulled slightly back. Some have also complained about the parallel output (tuner) to suck away some tonal quality to the main signal. I haven't experienced that myself neither. It might all just come down to a matter of buffers in the setup (and partially also some psychological factors)." And that is also true with this one. I've used it a single time as a volume pedal, and didn't notice any of the issues mentioned.

OVERALL OPINION

If you don't need the big 6166 pedal, go for this one instead. It's completely like the 6166, but just smaller. You have the same sturdiness and unbreakable construction. Your wallet won't be ripped as much either, so you can't go wrong. Possible repairs on this one, are identical to the 6166.

Mono volume pedal all that is simpler, an aluminum pedals, a string, a spring and a potentiometer.

Completely transparent, passive (no power required)
His stroke is smooth and precise.
This is the 250k version for passive instruments.
It is made of aluminum very strong. She looks unbreakable.

Exit "tuner" which can fit in silence is welcome, very helpful in every situation.

UTILIZATION

Nothing is easier ... it's a volume pedal before to set up the sound, great for fall.
To put it in the effects loop for control over the overall sound before distortion or to control the gain. Finally we can put it where it wants ... it all depends on what is intended.

SOUND QUALITY

Completely transparent. The race is not violent, the pedal filled his office with no problem. Need I say more ...

OVERALL OPINION

As for the name of his line: "Junior", do not rely on this designation, the pedal is large enough, finally enough for me that makes 46 and wearing heavy boots.

I think 149 euros is a bit expensive (but not abusive either) for what it is if it's the Queen volume pedal in its class (I have not tested the visual sound 10th anniversary) but when you see the price of non-junior model in Europe ... It's enough to make a complaint, brief in any case a large model is useless unless you are over 48 feet in size. Rather look to the market OCCAZ.

A great pedal for beautiful feet ... (the author of this sentence hanged himself just after writing it ...)

As discussed below, volume pedal, I will not draw you a picture ...
(Especially since the photo is certainly more meaningful ...)

Four runner antidrapant, very easy to remove (dvisser) to include a pedal pedalboard.

Indeed, large pedal! (Larger than a CryBaby)
Excellent quality workmanship (the price at the same time ... they can)

UTILIZATION

She did what we asked when we asked.

Easy:
tip of the foot increases the volume
heel, we Reduces.

Race fairly linear.
Note that a minimum of the race, the sound does not pass.

Release Schedule Bypass practice to connect a tuner pedal and agree when the volume is 0.

SOUND QUALITY

Now truly transparent ...
No more losses Aiges when you lower the volume knob guitar!

It's not really a surprise. After all, it's all the same a REFERENCES!
Browse Photos Pedalboard on the net ... We see her everywhere! (Almost)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 4 years.
This is one of Ze pedals must have!

Ok, 130 new, was expensive potentiomtre ... but hey, I think given the quality pedal that is a Life Time!
