it's called the bs2. www.axess-electronics.com
there is no such thing as "true bypass" with a vol pedal...it is not possible.

Sure it is.
I have the big EB vol. After several mods (treble bypass cap, 1M pot, et al) I couldn't take the tone loss. So I made it true bypass.
Drilled a hole in the side, stuck a DPDT switch in & now I can kick it off when I don't need it.

EB VPJR are made in two versions, 250 KOhm (passive) and 25 Kohm (active). The latter is supposed to be used last in chain, or in the FX loop and will not suck any tone.
My only real complaint is that the taper could be a tad more gradual and controllable I suppose.

Do you mean it happens too much in the last third of the pedal's travel? I have the same feeling with mine, but I think this is related to the way the human ear perceives volume increase (in terms of dbs), rather than the actual, physical, volume increase, if you get my point.
Mine has a mini-switch inside which gives you the option of two different tapers. Changing the setting might make a difference for you.

AFAIK, the mini-switch inside is only featured on the large EB volume pedals, not on the Juniors. I have the VPJR 6181 model, 25 kohm. Do you have the same?
