The Steel Guitar Forum

Just trying to see if anyone out there knows anything about the one of these pedals or has any parts for them. I have one that is in need of repair.

Doesn't any one Know about the Edwards photocell volume pedals?

I believe there has been some discussion about these pedals in the past. You can use the "Search" function to search this Forum and the old Forum for previous posts.

Thanks Lee, I'll try that.

IVE GOT ONE, VOLUME/TONE VERSION.

My problem is the light on the side keeps flickering on and off , doesn't to effect the pedal any but it also doesn't have full range on the volume. It doesn't go any louder after half way open. Any ideas?

It's been about 25 years since I used to use one of these, but I believe you can just swap out that light bulb. I don't think it's a special one, you just need to match it up with a replacement. Not sure of this, but I think I remember changing out the bulb.

Light may be leaking in from some area of the pedal. The photocell works off of light.

Have you replaced the cord with a 3 prong? I find these are a lot more stable in the wall and tend to not be as intermittent as the stock 2 prong.

use a size 57 bulb when changing bulbs. Thats what the sticker on the bottom of mine says.

Mike, thanks for the info and I'll get a tech. tho change the cord and check the internal parts in case something isnot right. This is my dad's pedal and he bought it new and wont let it go. I have a Hilton that I love cause you can't buy yhese any more.

Fred, those old things are notorious for going bad. I had on years ago, and I hated it. Nothing but trouble.

I'd just get a new Goodrich or Hilton and toss that baby.

What goes wrong with them? I always hear about how much of a pain they are but no one ever says exactly what their problem was or what went wrong. Mine has worked fine since day one.

My dad's worked great till the bulb went out and he had a repairman replace it and it hasn't worked right since. he adjusted the divider inside and got it to work but it still doesn't have full renge on it. It does have a mellower tone than my Hilton.It has a great sond with his sho bud and session 400 no effects .

Oh, oh, I think Fred just drove up the price of used Edwards pedals now.

Howdy;

I used to have an Edwards pedal and really enjoyed using it. Mine was very dependable and required very little maintenance. As I remember the only thing that it required was a new lamp. I would still be using it if it had not been ripped off.

"Good Pedal!"
