Post by Ron Hiler »

what is the big difference between an Emmons pedal an a goodrich 120? what is your opinion of the goodrich LSW? Oh, by the way, today is my birthday, jan 4, a very young 61.

Happy Birthday Ron!
I interchange between the Emmons pedal and the 120 and can't tell any difference.
What is the LSW? Is that the photo cell model? I have a Goodrich pedal with the built in match box that I like to use with lap steel.

Happy Birthday Ron, I too have a Goodrich 120 and I can hear a tone difference when I switch..the Goodrich seems to be a little more on the mellow side than my Emmons.....thats just my ear...at 62 I'm glad I can still hear at all..; Image; tom

Ron:
I looked at my Goodrich literature and the LSW is a dual-function volume pedal. It has a switch on it that provides an impedance match between yur instrument, volume pedal and amp. Or, with the switch off, it operates like a regular foot volume

I've never tried a goodrich pedal, but I always figured they were pretty much the same, I have two Emmons pedals, one that I got with my 74 PP, and one I got with my 2002 Lagrande II, no problems, but I am kind of interested in that Goodrich LSW.

thanks for the reply on the Emmons VS Goodrich, and I know what you mean about the hearing Image;Ron<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Ron Hiler on 06 January 2003 at 02:43 PM.]</p></FONT><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Ron Hiler on 06 January 2003 at 02:45 PM.]</p></FONT><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Ron Hiler on 06 January 2003 at 02:49 PM.]</p></FONT>
