Volume Pedal Choice?

Hilton rules. No unwanted noise and no tone loss. It's not really that expensive when you consider that it's the last VP you'll ever buy.
Just factor the cost over a 10 year period, it's about 55cents a week.

Great comments guys, I appreciate it. Craig makes a great point about having the money invested in our guitars and amps, so might as well get the right pedal too.

For what ever it's worth, I certainly am well pleased with the Hilton Pedal ( although it does tend to draw women) --he has even built a red light version in the past--I had a chance at it but passed !! Really !! Not kidding !!! ask him !!!

I got a new Hilton and do not regret it one bit.
Worth the price,
especially if you like having nothing between degrading your sound between your steel and amp.

Clean, clear, smooth and you can adjust the cut-off point and tone.

The high end Goodricjh pedals are solid units, but there are some older ones that are more a pot pedal or an earlier design, and not as strong as the more recent ones..

The Hilton is a better over all design IMHO.

Tim....... I have used Ernie Balls with PV amps in a 3 cord setup and they work really well. Not as flexible as my Goodrich LDR-2 but if the pot is good the 3 cord setup works quite well. There is still possible string breakage to deal with but this doesn't happen often. Are you using a PV amp?

Yes, I'm using a nv112. What do you mean by 3 cord setup?

Thanks!

I love the reports on the hilton pedal
but have never used one.
My big problem with it is the wall wart.
What is the operating voltage on it?
and would it be feasable to run it
off a battery Pack.
Just a Thought

I would agree with all the other comments regarding the Hilton Pedals ...........best thing yet for all steel pickers and grinners. I always carry a spare "wart" that are obtainable at any Salvation Army store for just pennies, this makes sure you're always ahead of the game.
