The Mission Engineering VM-1 Volume Pedal takes a pedalboard staple and infuses it with high-end boutique construction and features like hand-wired input and outputs connected through the potentiometer, an isolated tuner out employing a mute switch, and hard-as-nails cold-rolled steel chassis. Operating at a 500K impedance ideal for passive guitars, the beauty in the VM-1 is the absence of "tone suck" usually found in passive volume pedals, which makes it an ideal candidate for any genre in need of total guitar volume control.
