Buying my first Hilton volume pedal, need advice!

Well, another scratchy pot on my trusty old goodrich, (1,000 gigs and counting) Finally decided to try a Hilton, need to know which one is "the one" to get...

I've done some homework online, what is the difference in the "new design" and the original?

Does the new power supply have any effect on the tone?

Will the low profile pedal be close to my Goodrich 120?

The goodrich 120 is the only volume pedal I've gigged with, would like to find something that "feels" like a 120, I appreciate the help!

Thanks!

Brian,

Click Here! for a review I did of the new lightweight Hilton pedal. Included in the review are pictures comparing the Goodrich 120 and the Hilton at all different angles as well as some specs on angles and heights the pedals sit at when fully on and off. I added a tune, recorded with the Hilton pedal and some information on the power supply. You can click on any of the smaller pics and get them super sized.

Brian, I replaced my Goodrich 120 with the low-profile Hilton, using the plug-in power supply.

I have not regretted it a bit.

I've had my Hilton for right at 5 years now....and I have to say a happy farewell to "ALL" pot pedals. My Hilton is one with the attached power supply, so it's just a little heavier than a Goodrich 120, and mine is also the low profile. It in no way changes the tone....it's the greatest pedal I've ever owned. Love my Hilton......thanks Keith for building a great pedal.....buy the pedal man.....you'll be happy you did....IMO......HAL

I have a low profile hilton. I like it. But I have nothing to compare it to because I've never used anything else.

I guess I have used my Hilton for three years now. It is probably the best improvement I have made. Hasn't improved my playing, tone or attitude, but It is smooth, reliable and always there

Hey Brian. I'm late on my input, but you made the right choice. I have a low profile I bought from Fred Justice and I love it (except for having something else to plug in)
