Re: Issue with my Ernie Ball Volume pedal

Hey all,

Just got and tried an ernie ball VP jr 6180. I am using to change
from pizz to arco for a double bass. It is the only thing between me
and my acoustic image amp.

When I run thru the volume pedal my sound becomes softer and generally
is lacking in the great tone I get by just directly into the amp. I
bought the 6180 because I assumed the underwood pickup I am using is
passive..there is no battery.

Does anyone know what is up? I was expecting no color to the sound
and no change in output.

BTW: tuning up the amp does not fix the problem, I just get a louder
crappy sound>

Your thoughts?

I hate asking the obvious, because it can be misconstrued, specially since I didn't do it in my first answer.... but.. your bass runs to the in jack and the out goes to the amp, and you're not using the tuner out right? SOmetimes it's the simplest things...
