Dear EB folks,
I've just purchased the announced Ernie Ball Most Valuable Pedal (MVP). Everything looks promising with it, the active circuitry (buffer-boost), etc, but I'm unhappy with its response!
I have one complaint and one question:
Complaint:
The potentiometer taper. All the increase-decrease in volume (at least the most noticeable part) happens only in the first portion on the rocker pedal. The rest of the rocker travel is useless until it reaches zero sound. I'll really like a pedal that gradually increases-decreases the volume to have more control over the travel. Experience with other VPJR pedals shows the exact behaviour, so the new MVP is just a buffered version of the VPJR 25K with noo improvements on the taper response. I'm not as happy as I should about this new pedal.
Any trick to solve this issue?
Question:
Active electronics inside the pedal, thinking in block diagram, is like this:
Guitar input - BUFFER - Volume potentiometer - Buffer/boost - Pedal output ?
I mean, is there an input buffer prior to volume pot and right after it?
Hope you can help me solve the taper issue and provide me understanding about the block diagram of the effect.
Best regards,
