Thanks Jim- other Goodrich pedals have these features also?

I am selling more of the Goodrich OMNI pedals than any pedal ever produced by the previous owners of Goodrich.

Kevin and Jim have done this one RIGHT.

The other Goodrich pedals do utilize a spring return but are not as adjustable as the OMNI and the off point can be adjusted by adding washers to the heel stop of the pedal.

Thanks much......

I've been asked about the battery vs. the power supply. Anytime the power supply is plugged into the pedal the battery is disconnected regardless if the power supply is plugged into a power source or not. If the power supply is plugged into the pedal but not a power source the output of the pedal will be severely distorted in the active mode (much like a dead battery w no power supply plugged into the pedal). The passive side will not be affected either way.

When I use it in my practice room I put it in passive mode (little button in). will it still use battery power if input cord is plugged in?

No Wayne- only the active mode draws (I meant to call you back today and were on my list to call tomorrow- thanks!).

I just ordered one. I swear by Goodrich and will use it in passive mode after my matchbox 7a. (I like controls at my fingertips). When I tried Dave Zirbel’s somehow there was NOT a ground hum when we ran stereo which does not happen with my normal Goodrich? I think it WAS in passive mode but can’t be sure. I always had to run a hum x when going stereo ever pout of the pedal. How is this one different I that way?

My Peterson is true bypass but looking forward to having a dedicated tuner out and avoid the pop when turning my tuner on and off. I’m excited!! And no weird ground hum when running out the second out on stereo pedalseven for a tuner. Brilliant pedal as far as I can tell! Can’t wait to live with one for awhile!

Also been times running acoustic rigs where a active pedal might have helped so the flexibility will be great to have! Goodrich rules and to support Jim is just as good!

I’m assuming my Brackett I have for my Goodrich pedal now should work fine.

I think it WAS in passive mode but can’t be sure.

It was actually in active mode. I always run it active.
