From the Manufacturer

New compact design allows more floor space. 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. A tuner output is provided and allows silent tuning when the pedal is in the heel down position.

Product Number: 6180

The design and development of the Ernie Ball pedals has been a team effort of guitar players and craftspersons within our company. Pedal bodies are an aluminum extrusion rather than a casting resulting in greater strength, uniformity, and smoother surfaces. Clear anodized grain finish insures lasting beauty. Overall dimensions: 4" W x 11" L x 2.5" H. The main pivot shaft is of centerless ground 1/2' diameter stainless steel, precision seated though nylon bushings at both ends. The large center shaft diameter, in addition the strength factor, creates a broader stress bearing surface. Our bodies and shafts are designed to give the player an indefinite service life! Deck mat of non-slip material is impervious to oil, alcohol, and most things you might spill on it. Quick disconnect wiring harness allows changing the pot without soldering. Tough long lasting Kevlar cable transmits pedal travel to the controls and is attached by stainless steel springs. This drive design results in smooth and quiet operation qualities lacking in gear driven models. Cycle tests are made on every pedal to insure perfect operation prior to packaging.

• Jr size to better fit on pedal boards
• Mono volume control
• Taper switch for two distinctive swell rates
• For passive signal in

User questions & answers

Question:	I thought the "Jr" model meant it was small(er). Wow, this thing is big, what am I missing? Do they make anything smaller
Answer:	Hello there, not sure what is happening with this pedal. I use this model and do not have that issue. Have you tried adjusting the level to a wider signal?
Question:	Does the tuner output work full time or only when the pedal is heel down
Answer:	This pedal does not have a on/off switch so the signal is never interrupted, it does not have to be true bypass. It’s a great pedal.
Question:	Does this pedal need a battery and/or power supply
Answer:	Yes , It certainly does in my experience with it! I have alll of my overdrive pedals placed before this, and the guitar cranked up, and you have the full overdrive that you desire at any volume, with all the tone intact! Active volume pedal is the way to go. I have my delay pedals placed after this volume pedal, and everything sounds great! Love it!
Question:	What is the difference between the E.BALL 6180 JR and the 6181 JR? Is one more versatile
Answer:	Since the MVP is an active pedal with a buffer, it needs to be powered. According to their webpage, the current draw is less than 3 mA.

Product description

Control your volume and FX parameters without crowding your pedalboard. Saving space doesn't mean skimping on durability or functionality-the DVP4 Mini Volume (X) Pedal does everything that the larger DVP3 does at half the size, and it's just as solidly built with a lightweight aluminum chassis, aggressive non-slip tread, and our patented Low Friction Band-Drive for a smooth range of motion and consistent, reliable performance. For maximum comfort and precision, the DVP4's rocker tension is fully adjustable. The AUX output combines tuner and expression functionality into one jack that can be toggled with a switch inside the pedal. When using the DVP4 as an expression pedal, you can use an internal pot to set the minimum level of the parameter you're controlling with the rocker. If you want to reverse the function of the heel-down and toe-down positions, the DVP4 has another internal switch that allows you to do so. Don't sacrifice control over your volume level and FX pedals just because you're using a travel-sized board. Get yourself a Volume (X) Mini Pedal.

• Controls volume levels and FX parameters
• Half the size of the DVP3
• Low Friction Band-Drive for smooth, durable
• Lightweight and pedalboard-friendly
• AUX output for switchable tuner/expression functionality

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this pedal have a 500k pot
Answer:	No, the Volume section uses a 250k pot. There's a second (10k) pot for the expression function.
Question:	Is this an active or passive volume pedal
Answer:	Passive. And you won’t find a better pedal made by anyone!!
Question:	Will this work with an active electronics preamp guitar
Answer:	The FV-500L is going to work better.
Question:	What's the difference between this one and the boos fv-500H
Answer:	The FV-500H (H is for high impedance) is a mono volume pedal ( 1 In, 1 Out) for guitar, bass or "instrument level" connections. FV-500L (L is for low-impedance) is a stereo volume pedal (2 Ins, 2 Outs) suited more to connection to keyboards, mixers and line level connections. Both models also provide an Expression output for use with expression-compatible amps, effects pedals, and keyboards/synthesizers. Both include a minimum volume control knob.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this for guitar
Answer:	YES you can use it for a guitar if you have the right multi effects pedal. I just bought a Zoom G3 and it works all the expression pedal effects not just the volume. I've used it with the Zoom G1, G1N and the A2 pedals and it always worked. Just plug it into the Control In input jack.
Question:	can this make swells on the guitar
Answer:	The Yamaha FC7 Control Pedal can NOT be used directly inline with a guitar. However, the pedal may be compatible with some amplifiers/effects units if they have a "Controller" or "Expression" input.
Question:	Used or new plz
Answer:	Always new when it comes to electronics.
Question:	Will this work as an expression pedal with the Line 6 M13? Is a "volume pedal" the same thing as an "expression pedal
Answer:	According to Line 6 support, NO, this is not compatible. https://line6.com/supportarchivenew/thread/19057/ As mentioned by Harry De Gray Cat, "volume pedal" is usually used to refer to an "audio attenuation" pedal, that you'd use in-line between an instrument and the amp, just like most guitar pedals. "Expression pedal" is a control input into a device (like the Line 6 M13) to control some parameter, the default usually being volume but it could also control the frequency of a filter sweep, like a wah pedal, or the delay on an echo effect. So, it's more versatile, but it needs to plug into some device that implements the effect; it's just a controller.

User questions & answers

Question:	is there a reason it cuts off my swells at a certain spot on the pedal? very unimpressed with this. if this is happening I might as well not use it
Answer:	This device is a line level volume control. It's likely no use to you if the amp doesn't have an fx send and return.
Question:	Is this true bypass
Answer:	It’s a loop attenuator. Amp got a loop?
Question:	A lot of people are saying it is buffered does that mean it will preserve my guitar tone
Answer:	It wore out a 250K pot in less than a year. I'd recommend a more robust unit if it is to be frequently used on the job. I'm hard on a volume pedal as I use it to fade in and out my drum unit.
Question:	Do you have to power this pedal or can it be used without
Answer:	This pedal comes with nothing extra....it worked fine for a few weeks at home when trying it out but, I used this pedal once at a gig for my guitar and it never worked again. So I don't recommend buying it...spend more to get more.

Answer:	No; since it's a passive volume pedal, it requires no power supply.
Question:	Would you recomment high impedance or low impedance if using in front of analog pedals and tube amp
Answer:	Hi there - The 6180 is for PASSIVE guitars and basses. The 6181 is for ACTIVE instruments. The potentiometer's value inside the pedals differs depending on what type of instrument you have. If you are using anything with active electronics (powered by a battery) then you need to use the 6181. If you have a normal guitar with standard magnetic pickups, then you need the 6180. -Andy

Question:	Can you easily switch between volume and expression mode
Answer:	It stays where you set it. But mine was bad about buzzing. Could be my house electrical wiring. Could be ground interference.

Morley 2020 Volume Plus

The 2020 Volume Plus is the Ultimate Volume pedal. Say goodbye to worn out rope and scratchy pots... Morley's Optical circuitry uses light to measure the travel so it will never wear down. It's Audio Taper is smooth and forgiving and perfect for Violin or Lap Steel Guitar type swells. It's also one of the few Volume pedals to offer a Minimum Volume Control that can perform a variety of functions such setting your Lead and Rhythm Volumes, Tremolo pedal emulation and sound design.

Smooth Audio Taper

What's the difference between an Audio and Linear Taper? A Linear Taper travels in a straight line while an Audio Taper travels in a logarithmic fashion. The advantage of an Audio Taper is that it's more natural sounding to the human ear than a Linear Taper, and it's more forgiving for Violin and Lap Steel Guitar type swells.

Minimum Volume Control

The Volume Plus is one of the few pedals to offer a Minimum Volume Control. It can be used for a variety of functions including setting your Rhythm and Lead Volume, Variable Fuzz/Distortion Control, emulating a Tremolo style effect, and when it's dialed into it's lowest setting can emulate a more Linear style Taper.

Glow-in-the-Dark Details

Never lose your pedal on a dark stage. Morley's Pedal-Glow treadle rubber makes sure you know where your pedal is located. The Morley toe-end sticker also glows in the dark.
