Hey guys!
New question: I would like to know how I could add, in an expression volume pedal, a pot to set a minimum volume for: rhythm and solo, or Fender Gibson, or electric and acoustic gutiar...

The pedal is a Ernie Ball VP JR, an old one.

The schematic should be really simple, I guess somethin like this:



I wondering if this layout I found should be ok.



Thanks! 8)

Yes, that how it's done, putting some resistance between the volume pot ground lug and actual ground.
If you have a 500k volume pot, a 220k or 250k might be better for the minimum pot.
