| Well done Jim. The Goodrich pedal was something that could not be allowed to die. I wish you all the very best in the continuation of THE steel pot pedal. |

Hello Jim & Kevin;
I just ventured over to this part of the steel forum & saw your post.
CONGRATULATIONS to both of you!
Yes, the Goodrich name is an American Icon in the pedal steel guitar world..
I am sure it is in the best of hands to carry the fine name onward.
We will all look forward to all the new products ( & I am sure there will be )
as well as the time tested ones in the Goodrich line now.
Again, my congratulations to you both & the best to you in the coming future.
Ron

| Congrats Jim and Kevin. The company couldn't be in better hands. I own two Goodrich pedals and it's good to know that I know where to go to keep them working as great as they do now. |

Thrilled at this news, Pali, the Goodrich name couldn't be in better hands. I vote for better pots, of course, and pedal with tuner-out. Will you no longer carry Telonics volume pedals? Some conflicts to resolve there, it appears.
I vote you buy out the Emmons name and brand, and keep it going. Partner with Frank Carter on that project!

Hi Jim and Kevin,
Great news! How about a pedal rack bracket similar to what Frank makes?
John, I`ve been thinking along those lines, too, about the Emmons company. Only problem is that my idea included me winning the lottery, so it might take some time.

Well, let me toss out a congratulatory nod also, Jim and Kevin. Well done! I'm very happy to see that one of our staple products will continue to be available.
Much success in the future. Now the fun starts, eh??

| I doubt that we'll attempt to bring back the wonderful LDR pedal as Dave and the great folks at Telonics have that end of the spectrum covered nicely. Dave and I have had a lot of communication about the dearth of good pots and there are no conflicts to resolve in that arena- it's like comparing apples to oranges- two totally different things. Goodrich Sound and Steel Guitars of North County are two totally different entities and do not share the same location. We (Goodrich) are currently having a new pot designed to our specifications that will hopefully remedy the current problems that exist. It was a long great road trip and now we have the task of unloading the truck today and finding a place for everything, cataloging the parts and inventory, and begin the task of implementing the changes that we envision. I absolutely love this part of the curve . |

Well done, Jim - this story has really cheered me up!
My brief flirtation with a different VP came to nothing and I remain a staunch Goodrich devotee. Jim Palenscar's name will ensure that this product will remain at the top of the heap.

Kevin and Rick Schmidt showed up at Steel Guitars of North County yesterday beaming with pride as they delivered their very first new volume pedal to me and- lo and behold- it actually worked!!!! As Kevin left he said- "I'll send you an invoice" .

| Congratulations Jim. I wish you every success in your new venture. I wish you would reconsider your plans on the LDR pedal They were a great pedal, except for the power connection point which could be easily modified. |

| Thanks Ted- they were my favorite too but there is simply no reason in my book to compete with Dave Beaty and the great folks at Telonics and the wonderful Multi-Taper active volume pedal that they produce. The high cost of reproducing the LDR pedal is simply not worth it at this point. |
