Goodrich 120 or L120?
Hi Guys,
Been searching the forums for some info but can't seem to find what I am looking for so excuse me if this has been covered before.
Can anybody that has used both pedals just give me a quick pros/cons regarding the low profile 120?
Thanks!
Joey

Hey it's Bob! -- I think I told you this before but you were my inspiration for getting me into the steel. I have a live recording of Hem from KCRW in LA and when I heard you come in during "When I Was Drinking" it was all over for me. So if anybody out there hasn't taken a listen look him up. He's a real classy player.
I'm pretty short and have issues reaching the knee levers comfortably so I was worried the low profile 120 would be too low for me.

Goodrich pedals
I have had both for years, but recently sold my L-120. I just prefer the feel and travel of the regular height 120. The pivot point is in a diferent place in both pedals, and probably it is what you get used to and become most comfortable with.

I just bought George Macdonald's L120. I had a standard pedal, but had problems with my long legs bumping the undercarriage of my standard height steel. My low profile and standard pedals do have different pivot points. The first few times I used the L120, it felt funny, but I have used it enough now that it feels fine. I think it's just that-getting used to it.
Hey, mister, how do you pedal that thing anyway?

Too many steels, amps & other stuff, and an open mind. I have tube amp bias.

Thanks guys,
I went ahead and ordered a standard 120. I'm 5'4" and figured the higher profile won't be much of an issue for me.
Bob and Meryle, thanks for the heads-up on the local guys that will lower my steel. I am definitely going to have that done when I get some extra cash.
Do any of you guys have an opinion on those volume pedal mounts? pros/cons/don't bother?
