Hilton volume pedal help

Post by Adam Kavanaugh »

I was wondering if someone may have any suggestions for me for Hilton volume pedal troubleshooting. Upon trying the pedal in quiet conditions the other day I noticed there's a barely audible distorted sound coming through and that's all. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this issue may be?
Thanks a lot...

Adam, you need to check your power supply for output juice... if you can't do that, you'd better just box it up and send it to Keith... he's good about turning that kind of thing around, it's his livelihood you know.

Not sure whether 24VDC 1A regulated power supplies grow on trees up where you live... in a pinch you could always series two car batteries, I guess... four 6V lantern batteries in series would get you through a few gigs, probably... obviously the best source would be Hilton, but you do what you gotta do.
