The MVP seems to have a large footprint and needs power, but has a minimum volume and gain control to help sweeten the deal. [...] I definitely think it's worth it for the extra features and benefits. [...] I mean, the MVP is the same footprint as the VPJr. For thirty extra bucks its a no brainier. I went from a VPJr to a MVP and its a major upgrade. Just being able to use the tuner out without cutting my signal strength in half makes it worth it.","subreddit":"guitarpedals"},{"type":"thread","title":"Any concerns about Ernie Ball MVP?","author":"soli528","ref_id":"r_e_2","thread":{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/guitarpedals/comments/14uzx3u/anyone_own_an_ernie_ball_mvp_are_there_any/","title":"Anyone own an Ernie Ball MVP?
