are the new hilton volume pedals worth the cost $ 269.00 ? i am thinking about replacing my goodrich because after only a year it is very scratchy

thanks

The Hilton will BY FAR be one of your best investments, and additions to your pedal steel rig !!....Not a cheap pedal , but worth EVERY PENNY !!....Money well spent !

I bought one a couple of months ago, by far the best pedal I've ever owned. Did have some trouble with it cutting off, called Kieth and was told to send it to him and he'd take care of it.

Really like it, just waiting to get it back.

Edited for update, Just spoke with Kieth on the phone, said my pedal will be shipped back to me today.
Now that's good service!

I like the Goodrich for simplicity.Nothing to plug in. An occaisional pot change is not that big of a deal.

Hey Calvin, your new Hilton was mailed to you Monday afternoon. It should arrive about Thursday. Thanks for your order!

I have 2 of the Hilton's. I also played on the Goodrich but the Hilton fit me better than the Goodrich. These are great pedals and well worth the price.

Just go for it!!!The Hilton or the new Goodrich LDR are worth the $$$!

The nice part about a Hilton Elec pedal is
you dont have to use a compressor or steel driver extra. All this is built in.
With a pot the more you increase the different the tone gets, Not so with Hilton.

Calvin Walley · Post by **Calvin Walley** » 21 Apr 2006 7:35 am

got the Hilton today,
so far so good, it seems like it is more sensitive than the goodrich (less pedal movment required )
but i'll get used to it
no more scratchy sound anyway haha

Can't go wrong with the Hilton, and Keith really stands by what he builds.

Calvin Walley · Post by **Calvin Walley** » 21 Apr 2006 11:10 am

do you leave these pluged in ? the instructions says it won't hurt if you forget to unplug it, so why not just leave it pluged in to begin with ?

I leave mine plugged in to a power strip and just switch the power strip on and off.
