| I used a Hilton for a few years... nice, but then the inside power fried...just too much to fix. Went back to my old Goodrich model 400A photo electric volume pedal. Had this one since the 80's. Other than keeping an extra bulb, no pot to wear out or change. |

Pot pedals are constantly causing string and pot problems, just my experience. I have sold 100's of Hilton pedals and like no one has problems and those who buy the pedals write me and say that they should have bought one years ago. They always thank me.
These Hilton owners finally hear the true tone and sound of their steel guitar.
We have marketed Hilton products for many years.

Constantly?
I've been using two Goodrich 120s for decades. On the oldest one I have replaced the pot twice. The newer one is on its second pot. I did have a string slip...once.

Best and reasonable are not hand in hand.
I have had a most brands. Hilton had problems and was repaired for shipping costs.
I have used a Telonics now for the last 7 years and have a Goodrich L-120 back up.
Old Ernie Ball still works after 30 years with the same pot.

Hilton. Great pedal, best value. Buffered tuner-out.
Pot pedal is in my car if I forget the Hilton power supply.  |
