Volume pedal trouble

Kenny Brown · Post by **Kenny Brown** » 16 May 2003 7:07 pm

I bought a cheaper vol pedal to begin with back in Feb of this year and I'm having trouble with it.

whenever I change dynamics, my amp doesn't recieve it well and it's real scratchy sounding like a bad connection.

I've plugged directly into my amp from guitar, so I know it's not my cords and I think my amp is in good shape, so that's mainly why I'm blaming it on the vol pedal.

I prolly should've picked up something a little nicer than the piece of plastic that is making playing more than the normal pain to listen to.

any links or suggestions are welcome. I'm a beginner so any help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds just like a bad pot in the pedal- they don't last long these days~ no real big deal to replace~ here's a link that might help you~ http://www.steelguitarinfo.com/other/volumepedal/pot_change.html

Kenny,

Think about getting youself a Hilton . They are not cheap but worth every dollar they cost .

You will be amazed how much better they are than the kind/s with pots .

There is a link on the forum that will will get you to the Hilton Electronics page .
