I really like my Goodrich LP VP.
The batteries are killings me though, seems to just eat right through them.

I leave it all plugged in to my guitar and my amp and my tuner, should I Be unplugging it to conserve battery life?

Is there another passive low profile volume pedal? (I need a low profile since I'm tall)

Thanks, adam

If you don't want to bother unplugging it, you can rig a wallwart to terminate in a standard 9V pigtail (wired backwards so it'll mate right) and leave the internal pigtail sticking out.

Any battery operated unit that does not have a visible on/off switch relies on the on/off switching inside one of the jacks. Yes, unplug when not in use.

The L-120 is a passive, low profile pedal.

Is it one of the jacks that is the on/off switch, or is it all three?

Typically it's the input.

You have not told us the model of your pedal.

But if I am not mistaken, it has always been the input jack, as Lane say, that is the on/off.

Battery? I must be missing something. I have four LP 120 volume pedals. None of them have batteries. None of them are currently working well... but that's another story.
