All kinds of issues at practice last night (Ernie Ball VPjr issues)

Re: All kinds of issues at practice last night (Ernie Ball VPjr issues)

Hmm, I've never had any problems with mine...can you replace the pot?

[PFDarkside]

Last night at practice my Ernie Ball volume pedal was acting funny. Scratchy Pot, seems like not full volume at toe down, and almost like a bad connection at one of the jacks. A quick search shows that the string breaks on this pedal, and sometimes the pot goes bad.

Does anyone else have issues with their VPjr? I'm wondering if I should hit the pot with contact cleaner or if it's going to need a new pot. It seems the process of resetting the string is a pain, has anyone done it and offer tips/hints?


This is in addition to a stomp switch acting funky (not full engagement/disengagement) on my distortion and my wah not working at all. I guess that's what you get when you haven't used any of it in a few months without checking!
