Yeah Calvin, a power strip!!

I leave mine on for the intire nights job, or what ever, just turn it off when I'm finished.

Yes Keith really does stand by his product!

Delvin, the pedal just attenuates the volume of the guitar signal, just like a pot pedal (minus the noise.) So to make the answer short, sure you can run effects between the volume pedal and the amp. Hope this helps

Calvin, a year sure seems short for a POT Pedal ...

But all in all you cannot go wrong with a Hilton Pedal.

I have two Goodrich Pedals, the POT pedal comes to the gigs and lives in the pac-a seat while the LDR stays home with the practice rig. For some reason I prefer the feel of the POT Pedal..go figure.

Anyway good luck with the Hilton and by the way your new Mullen looks great..

Ha.

I've gone through 4 pots in a year. The last one was the last one. A "military grade" pot, it was my last hope. It lasted less than a month. I'm finished.
If I was the manufacturer of pot pedals (which I like) I would be making my own pots or at the very least expending every energy on finding a source of decent quality pots.
The alternative seems to be watching your business crumble into dust.... and that's what's happening.
Maybe I should sell the two pot pedals I have before they're worth nothing.

The Hilton is by far the best volume (or expression) pedal on the market. I have two of them and wouldd not want to have a pot pedal ever again....Keith makes a great product and certainly stands behind it. i know this from personal experience. HAL
