Ernie Ball VP with HX Stomp

Hello all, 

 

I am trying to use the Ernie Ball 250k VP as an expression pedal for the HX stomp. 
I found many blogs explaining how to reverse the polarity, use the output and a regular TS cable etc..
It works excepted that the very end of the throw (toe position) suddenly switch back to 0 when the pedal is fully pressed. Then I have to go back to the full heel position to reactivate it. It looks like the potentiometer acts as a switch at the very end. 
Does anyone has a fix for this ? Maybe wiring the potentiometer differently ? 

 

Thanks for your help and happy playing. 
 

p.

I replaced the pot in my Ernie Ball VP JR with a 25k linear pot and it now works nicely with my Stomp. I'm not familiar with the regular VP, or if there is some switching going on with that unit.

It is enough to solder a 10 kOhm resistor in parallel to Jack contacts (in parallel o the 220k Pot.).

I did it todayand it works like a champ (Rocktron taboo Artist Expression Pedal by Ernie Ball)
