Hi Everybody
I bought a Hilton Sustainer and the tone knob spins 3/4 around and doesn't do much,
then has a spot that is very touchy.
I use this with a Hilton vol. ped.
Is this Touchy-ness same as you guys have found with yours ???

It sounds like the set screw in the knob is
loose. I didnt think you needed a sustain with the hilton pedal. I thought it was built into the pedal electronically.
Keith Hilton will tell you.

I bet this thread is on it's way to Electronics.

I'm certain Paul is correct about the Digital Sustain being part of the circuitry of the Hilton Volume Pedal already. Keith seems to verify that here http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum11/HTML/000848.html

Ken,
Please followup with what Keith Hilton says. I'm always open for new information. I did wonder about this when I purchased my Hilton Volume Pedal also, and have been convinced that the volume pedal essentially already has the sustain "unit" in it and there would be no advantage to adding the separate sustain. I'd like to mention also what a pleasure Keith Hilton was to deal with. I'm sure you'll find this out also.
