I love V.P. pedals until they start going bad, which is pretty quick in my experience. Needing to rebuild a pedal regularly gets in the way of my minimal maintenance schedule, so I decided to try these Fookers- https://photos.app.goo.gl/NXPs7HwaAgJwDU8V9 because they’re cheap/disposable. To my surprise, they’re not disposable. They’re long lasting, totally great (and cheap!). Maybe not the most stylish, but I usually can’t see them… -Kai
