Who can mod an EB Volume pedal?

[kernelspy]

Are there any experienced pedal modders here that can perform the MOD that JHS does to eliminate tone-suck?

If i am not wrong the mod is just to include a buffer after the signal from the pot so that the output is low impedance and there are minimal tone losses when splitting the signal

If your priority is to minimize signal losses through the volume pedal what would work too would be to simply get a VP JR 25k(low impedance pedal) and use a buffer pedal right before the volume pedal.

You may not necessarily have to use a specialized buffer pedal if you have a boss/ibanez/visual sound etc pedal that is buffered bypass, since it always acts like a buffer no matter if its engaged or bypassed

If you want things really neat you can build a buffer circuitry into yr volume pedal too. Its a simply circuit that should take up minimal space in the pedal.

Should be a signal splitter before the pot so the signal goes both ways.

oh yeah that makes more sense, and the signal splitter will also serve as the buffer?

yup one way to design it is a buffer with multiple outputs. more info here: http://www.muzique.com/lab/splitter.htm
