Newbie Volume Pedal Question

Post by Wade Wilbur »

I've done a lot of searching on volume pedals, but wound up more confused that when I started. I don't want to cheap out, but I don't want to break the bank either. I would appreciate any recommendations for a volume pedal for about $200, used is OK.

Thanks.

You can get a nice Goodrich pedal for way less than $200.00 :D

Thanks. That's the way I was leaning, but thought I should get some expert advice.

As long as the pot is OK, most any pedal will serve the purpose. :D

Hi Wade,

If you would prefer a new in the box Goodrich H120 with full warranty, I can sell you one for just a "little" more than $200 inc. shipping in the lower 48.

There is nothing wrong with buying used, but so many times you have to put in a new pot/string and that adds $40-$50 to your cost and you have no warranty.

Or I have a trade in on the way to me H120, that I will completely restore and adjust and can sell for a little under $200. It will be about a week or 10 days from now.

If I can be of service, let me know.

I've found that when the pot is ok, everything falls into place! :-)

Check guitar center and other online retailers who sell used gear. I got a used Hilton pedal for $150.00 and $25.00 for a 5 year warranty. A lot of times the big box stores have no idea what to do with psteel specific gear. There are good deals out there if you look.
