The Ernie Ball Junior Volume Pedal is designed after the original volume pedal and provides all the same great features while reducing your footprint by 22 . The pedal is perfectly voiced for passive signals and features a compact, rugged design consisting of a billet aluminum housing that is virtually indestructible and ideal for gigging. Like with many of the Ernie Ball volume pedals, directly behind the input jack under the footplate is a micro taper switch which provides the user two distinct volume swell rates. The perfect addition to your pedalboard.
