My Hilton Volume Pedal Is Amazing!

My Hilton Volume pedal arrived and I must say it is wonderful. In the past I was never happy with the way my foot volume technique sounded so I just went direct into the amp. I have several pot pedals, but there is no comparison to the Hilton.

My technique has improved tremendously, it almost feels as if the Hilton plays itself. I have much better control and I can now concentrate on sounding even.

Of course the sound quality improvement is well known, and the improvement in action was more than I hoped for.
Thank you Keith for such a good product.

Do these have a built in power supply or do they use a "wall wart"

Thanks for the kind words about my pedal Peter. I was wondering how you were getting along with it. Earl, the pedal comes with a wall wart that has a cord attached to the pedal. It does not operated off of battries. Thanks to everyone out there using my product. Hartley Peavey once told me, "Be careful of what you dream about, because it just might come true." In those days it was difficult to even think that dreams do sometimes come true. If you love what you are doing and you work hard, anything is possible.

Someone asked me what it sounded like.
My reply: NOTHING
That's EXACTLY what a volume pedal should do.

The sound through the Hilton pedal, whether barely on, mid-throw, or wide open, is EXACTLY THE SAME as plugging directly into my amp.

I wasn't looking for an Fx device, an EQ, or anything else in a volume pedal.
Dynamite product, my man.

Indeed, this remarkable product is a joy to the skeptical. My thanks to Mr. Hilton and to Blackie Taylor who sold it to me.

Nobody plays in more aweful conditions(goat pastures;poolside;freezing blowing cold;burning up hot;dust storms...bla bla bla)that I do...and I play every night and in the studio at least once a week with something. I've had my Hilton over a year now and I would have already gone through a few pots and probably another pedal.....but the Hilton is still a'tickin; and sounds the same as when I bought this dream come true(no noises and clean clean signal),from Jerry Roller through Keith Hilton. Thanks guys.

I think the Hilton pedal is the best pedal out there. I've had mine over 2 years now and no service problems at all. And it makes my steel sound the best.Thanks for a great product Keith.
