dethioux Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 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.

soundog Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it todayand it works like a champ (Rocktron taboo Artist Expression Pedal by Ernie Ball) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
