I have an older Goodwrich pot pedal. We run everything through our board. I am told that I have very little distance between full volume and no volume making it very difficult to be tastefull with fills.
Is it the pedal? My pre-gain? Would it be beneficial to purchase the Hilton pedal (that I am saving for) or is it a sound board issue? |

| Most likely, it's too much gain on the board. There's a slim chance that you pedal isn't working corectly, but that can be verified by pluging into an amp instead of the board. If it works fine with an amp, the trouble has to be in the board (how it's set). |

Ken,
Does the pot work with a string? (cord)
Check whether the pot is fully open when the pedal is down, and vice versa. Although, in the backed off position the pot won't be 'closed', only your output volume would have been reduced by about 50% or so. Sometimes the cord starts to 'creep' on the shaft of the pot, causing the pot to open or close only partially.
