Documentation
The VPM-1 fits Ernie Ball VP Jr models 6180, 6181, 6182 (MVP), which feature the smaller chassis size. The VPM-1 can also work with the full size Ernie Ball volume pedals (models 6165, 6166, 6167, 6168) by using our Large Format adapter, which allows our VPM-1 chassis to mechanically fit and attach to the larger format pedal chassis.

If you order your VPM-1 Ready-to-Install, you will need little more than a #2 Philips screw driver and a drop of super glue — and an Ernie Ball volume pedal, of course.
The DIY KIT requires the following tools and supplies. Tools marked (*) are available from Zeppelin Design Labs; follow the links! See also the online VPM-1 Assembly Manual, available on the Documentation tab.
TOOLS
- *Digital multimeter
- #2 Philips screw driver
- Small flat-head screwdriver
- Needle nose pliers
- *Wire strippers
- *Small diagonal-cutting or flush-cutting pliers
- X-acto knife or hobby knife
- 1/2″ (12mm) and 9/16″ (15mm) sockets and driver; in a pinch, pliers may work as well.
- *Soldering iron (not a soldering gun, or a “cold heat” iron), good quality, 15-50 watt. An iron with a temperature control and a stand is best. Use a small size tip, with conical or chisel shape.
- Solder sucker or solder braid (optional, but very handy if you have to remove or repair any components!)
- Damp sponge for cleaning the soldering iron tip
- Clamp or vise to hold the printed circuit board while soldering (optional, but handy)
SUPPLIES
- Good quality *Solder, 60/40 rosin core, small diameter
- Isopropyl alcohol and cleaning rag
- Transparent tape or masking tape
POWER
- *9V DC center-negative supply, at least 100 mA (typical pedal supply)
