Check the Carter site as they have the Jeff Newman article on replacing a pot in a Goodrich pedal.

It sounds like either there isn't enough turns on the pulley and/or the pulley is not set at the right point on the pot. Loosen the set screw and with the pedal in the fully closed position turn the pot to the point the sound just turns off and then tighten the set screw on the pulley. This should give you more volume.

Our second web site, The Steel Guitar Information Resource, located at www.steelguitarINFO.com, has some information on pickups from Goodrich themselves and also the article Jack Stoner mentioned by Jeff Newman, both listed on this page.

Hope that helps.
