Subject: Expression/volume pedal

From: "Sean" <fourtytwominds@yahoo.com>

An hour of googling has been fruitless.

How do you guys get even response on a volume pedal?

At current I have an Ernie Ball VP Jr mono volume pedal. It's between the source and the amp. V. simple.

From heel to near full the pedal is fairly even but still quiet. In the last say... 1/8 to 1/16 of an inch of play it goes from quiet to full. It's pissing me off. It's pissing my band mates off. We either get not enough Hammond/Mellotron or WAY TOO DAMNED MUCH.

I'm capable of replacing the pot in the pedal no problem. What rating and taper am I looking for? No one on the google seems to know.

Thanks.
