Hello , is anyone using the Ernie Ball MVP? Is this a true active pedal? How do you like it?
Thanks in advance. |

Ernie Ball does make a pot pedal with the jacks on the side, more suited for steel playing.

I may be mistaken about this, but I am under the impression that Ernie Ball no longer makes them with the jacks on the side.
I used one of these on all my recordings. I still have it.

| Check the pot on the Ernie Ball pedal. A friend got one, and the Pot is 250 and it sounds terrible. |

Chuck, I'll take an un-informed stab at this. I have not used MVP but looking at the specs on line looks like it is a truly active pedal, so pot K-Ohm value (unspecified) is not as critical as it would be for a passive model. I do have a VP Jr. which I used a lot with a matchbox between the PSG and I liked it fine. Had to use right angle plugs to get the VP right up to the PSG pedal bar, but that was not a problem for me. I did (and still) hate changing the strings on this pedal. A real PITA. It's just a back-up now as I have since got a couple of Hiltons. It looks like the MVP has the same string/spring arrangement.

| I have a couple of the jr pedals and like Bob said, with a matchbox they work fine. I mastered the string change technique and used angled plugs on the front Jack's. I considered drilling and changing to side Jack's but since have used Goodrich pedals, so it's become a spare. Never used the MVP. I prefer the Goodrich. |
