Tuner and Volume Pedal

Tuners and volume pedals are two things that guitarists frequently place at the front of their effects chain, so why not combine them and save space? The Ernie Ball VPJR Tuner features the same grade-A design as the company’s other volume pedals, along with a fast, accurate chromatic tuner and a graphic volume display. Besides offering convenience, this pedal is also a godsend to guitarists with long effects chains, thanks to its discrete buffer circuit. The VPJR Tuner boasts a junior-sized chassis that’s built from aircraft-grade aluminum — a major benefit, especially considering that it’s designed to be stomped on. The VPJR Tuner is a killer two-in-one pedal.

Super-responsive tuner with intuitive touchscreen display

The VPJR Tuner’s ultra-precise chromatic tuner includes an attractive graphic volume display and enhanced-definition touchscreen that’s a breeze to navigate. At Sweetwater, we’ve found that no matter where you are — on a dark stage or in direct sunlight — the screen is clearly visible. The screen intelligently toggles between tuner and volume modes depending on your signal level, enabling you to tune at minimal volume. That said, alternate always-on configurations are available with a tap of the touchscreen. The tuner is super responsive and can be calibrated to a wide range of reference pitches.

Flexible volume pedal and high-quality buffer circuit

The VPJR Tuner’s treadle can be routed as a gain control or as a master volume control (depending on your routing), providing you with flexible operation. Its durable PVC-coated braided Kevlar cord offers superior strength and potentiometer traction, which ensures consistent tension throughout its entire range. Beyond that, its rugged, junior-sized chassis boasts tough aircraft-grade aluminum construction that’s immune to enthusiastic foot stomps. The VPJR Tuner features a high-quality buffer circuit that safeguards your signal chain against tone loss, no matter how long it is.

Solid Pedal, can tune with peripheral vision.

The big led screen on the pedal turns green and displays when you're in tune. A working pro can keep up the banter while tuning. Also makes swells super easy. There is only one Jeff Beck , so just get this pedal and stop messing with the knob while trying to play.

Works good

Like others have stated the volume control really works at the top of the sweep. Around 7 or 8 it jumps up fast compared to the rest of the sweep. The tuner works well, but I prefer the tuner I already had.

I did have a problem at one point where the volume level line constantly flickerd when connected to my Cioks power supply on the 9v and 18v setting. So I used a 9v adapter and it worked fine. After a day or so I thought I'd try hooking it back up to my cioks to see if it still did that and then it didn't do it. Mysterious.

Great Pedal

Really happy with this pedal. I wanted a pedal that could manage my pedal gain without losing treble roll-off. I like that this is buffered, has a great screen for the tuner and is really smooth in its operation. Well worth the wait.
Rated 5/5

Best pedal around for my needs

This is a great pedal for my volume control and constant monitoring tuning. When playing events the temperature and humidity constantly changes and It is nice to know I am in tune

Best volume pedal ever!

This pedal has a very smooth response, the tuner read-out is great for a dark room and middle-aged eyesight, and I love that I can set the tuning base frequency. It also allows me more space on my pedal board as it takes the place of two pedals.
