How To Bring Your VP Back To Life

[syciprider]

It won't consistently reduce and won't completely cut off the volume @ 100% heel down. Pot is quiet and works, strings and springs are all intact and fully functional. I'm guessing the strings are slipping on the shaft that turns the pot. I need this thing for swells. Any of you guys know any tricks to fix this thing? Or am I SOL and have to get another one ($100.. ugh.)

Epiphany: I spied a little set screw on the brass collar that surrounds the volume pot's shaft. I rocked the pedal back and forth and noticed that the pot was slipping in relation to the collar so I removed the cover like Drew did in his Youtube video about string replacement and tightened said set screw. This fixed the slipping. 5 minutes and I was back in business. I like gear you can repair on the field!

Sweet! (figure this deserved some sort of response) the VP Jr is my choice, don't use it on the bass but the skinny stringed ones....

I have a line6 M13 pedal coming today for use with bass (25th HH 5) and guitar (AL original Dargie Delight). I ordered the EB VP Jr for use an an expression pedal. The manufacturers pedal is cheap plastic junk...the EB pedal (like all EB products) is built to last.
