Hilton Infrared Pedal Users

Post by Jerry Roller »

This should be an interesting good natured non-trouble stirring up question along the line of current "pole" questions. I am a very satisfied user, dealer, of this great product. Anyone else like to respond?

It's just tall enough to give me leg cramps but I'm not going to stop using it. I wish it could be steamlined just a little more in line with the L-10K.

I have one and getting another one next week.
I am realy impressed with this design, not only from a tone stand point, but the micro control it gives you squeezing out that expression. Great product!

I never thought I'd agree with Mike Weirauch about anything, but my Hilton pedal induces leg cramps also - specifically along the shin. I love the sound of it and don't even mind having to hook up the AC, but I find myself having to stretch my right leg out under the cabinet between songs occasionally to shake off the tension. Is there a way to adjust the taper to minimize or prevent this?

I tried to get a couple of friends to buy one but they are still lovers of the old pot` type and will stick with them...shame..

Mr. Hilton built mine to "come on in reverse". I love it. He included "risers" to accomodate any foot angle - these might help ya'lls cramps.

Got them on both an no they don't. Mark, it didn't hurt too bad to agree with me, did it? In all actuality, your guitar is beautiful.

Been using one here for almost a year now. Great pedal. I'll probably be in the market for a 2nd one sometime in the near future.

Hey, Mike Weirauch...

You wouldn't consider lettin' a fellow borrow one of those pedals(just to check em' out)would you ????

I've seen them but never had a chance to actually put one thru it paces in the privacy of my own music room.

Best wishes to you all.

Why do so many of you have two of them? Are you expecting one of them to break down and leave you stranded? Keith's products are not likely to do that to you.

I have one would not go back to a pot pedal, I really dont see the need for 200 watts of amp now that there is no signal loss from the pickup
