Nashville or Hilton?

I've been playing PSG for only about a year and have some limited funds to expand my PSG gear. Top of my wish list is a Hilton pedal and a Nashville 112, but can only afford one or the other at this time. Which should be first?
I presently play my Mullen D10 "VE" (VE= very early, Mike said this was one of their first 15) through an Ernie Ball volume pedal and a Fender Super 60 (60W tube amp).

Hi Tom;
My advise would be get the Hilton pedal
if your amp is working OK at this time..Ron

If you get the Peavey amp, you can use the 3 cord method of hooking up the volume pedal, which is an acceptable alternative to a powered pedal, in my opinion.

I'd say go with the Hilton pedal. I was amazed at the difference it made in my tone when I got mine. My steel sounded much better through any amp I tried. I'll never mess around with a pot pedal again. If your amp is reliable, I'd try the pedal first.

I'd get the NV112, and of course I'd order a Knob-Guard to keep it's little knobs protected! www.jimeatonmusic.com

Your Ernie Ball is just fine. As Richard said, if you get the Nashville 112, you can use the three chord method and loose nothing from you volume pedal. That said, make the Hilton your next purchase when funds permit. And for the fun and practice of it, play without a pedal for a while to get good control of your right hand. You might decide to not use a pedal.

Tom,

My "vote" is buy the Hilton. No Contest. It will do more for your tone than any other one thing you can do.
