Thoughts on Hilton Pedal and Tone/Character

Adam Ollendorff · From: Nashville TN

I really dig my new Hilton volume pedal, and I see many of my favorite steel players using them.

Having said that, does anybody have any thoughts on the way in which the pedal changes the tone of the guitar. I realize that Keith has given us tone control, but I'm talking more about the "character" of the sound -- not just bright vs. dark.

I'm not fishing for negatives; just curious what all y'all's impressions are about what makes a Hilton different, sonically.

Adam,
What I like most about my Hilton VP is that I can't hear any tone change.

If I'm playing thru my little Fender amp at a very low volume, or playing thru my Sessions 400 cranked up peeling paint off the walls, I can't hear any tone changes from the top of my pedal all the way down to the bottom.

That's what I found, and like about my Hilton pedal.

Larry
