Overview
The VM-1 Aero is a passive volume pedal with switchable tuner mode intended for use with electric guitars with passive pickups. With a passive ‘no tone suck’ circuit, this pedal features an isolated tuner output and integrated mode switch. All VM-1 Aero models also include Missions illuminated base. Visible from any position, the transparent acrylic base illuminates indicating selected mode. Power consumption is approximately 20mA.
To enable tuner mode, push down firmly on the front of the rocker to engage the toe switch. If power is connected, the base will illuminate red to indicate tuner mode. The tuner output will now be enabled. With the rocker at toe down, a small amount of signal is routed to the main output for audible tuning. Move the rocker back to the heel down position for silent tuning.
