Received my Hilton pedal

Post by Larry Hamilton »

Just got home today from the Dallas show to find the Hilton that I ordered had arrived while I was gone. I read the literature and hooked it up and away I went. What a great pedal!!! I have been using a Hilton Digital sustain for about 4 years and knew Keith built good products so I knew his volume pedal would be the best.

I tried my friend's Hilton pedal and in 10 seconds I knew I had to have one. I called Keith placed my order and fired off a check. It is one of my best investments.

I play a LeGrande with TRUETONE pickups.
which by the way are just dynamite pickups.
Jerry Wallace, one the nicest people you will ever deal with, made a good sounding guitar sound even better. Now coupled with
the Hilton pedal, I just don't know how it could get any better.

I played through a Session 500 then a Nashville 1000 and used the 3 cable hookup.
Running through the pre EQ kept my tone pretty constant through out the pedal travel. When I went to an Evans amp I lost that feature and really missed it. With the Hilton pedal I have the constant tone back. Cleaner, purer, quieter, it's just great. I had to tweek the tone a little and will probably continue to change things a little as I go. I can't wait to get on the bandstand and really work it out.

Give Keith a call. He is one nice guy to visit with. He has all your answers. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Oh, mine is the low profile. It is as low as my old low boy potted pedal. It already feels good.

My Hilton pedals are one of the things I just would not want to do without- perfect clean sound, always work, no problems. I wish everything was made like they are!
