Here are the operating instructions from the manual that comes with the pedal:
MVP Pedal #6182 .
Operating Instructions
• Connect one of the below power sources.
• Connect instrument to IN jack with 1/4" instrument cable.
• Connect OUT jack to amplifier with 1/4" instrument cable.
• (Optional) Connect TUNER jack to electronic tuner with 1/4" instrument cable. The tuner can function
at any time, even when pedal is in heel-down position.

Power Source
Battery: The Ernie Ball MVP pedal comes equipped with a 9 volt alkaline battery. When battery
weakens, sound may distort. To prolong battery life, unplug cable from IN jack when pedal is not in
use. To remove or replace the battery, access the battery door located on the bottom of the pedal.
AC Adapter: The Ernie Ball MVP pedal can alternatively be powered with an AC adapter to deliver a
9 volt DC, 100 mA minimum (not included). We highly recommend using a quality adapter such as the
Ernie Ball Power Adapter (#6198). It is not necessary to remove the battery when using the AC adapter.
The battery will be bypassed and the pedal will be powered solely by the AC adapter. The adapter does
not recharge batteries of any kind.
