I recently moved into an apartment after a lifetime of living in houses. Deciding that being a good neighbor doesn't have to be mutually exclusive with playing the steel, I looked around for ways to practice where I could play into headphones and mix an input from iTunes on the computer. By sheer luck I found a Goodrich volume pedal with attached (Goodrich) headphone pre-amp for sale on the Forum and bought it. Works like a charm! Takes up essentially no space, has reasonable headphone tone, and has a (tape) input that allows play-along practicing. A web search for Goodrich products doesn't turn up a trace of this as a current product. If anyone knows different, please respond to this post so anyone who might be interested could see where to get them. Thanks.

| I just plug into my Tascam CD-GT1 and use headphones to play along with the CD. (mp3 version exists, as well) If you have the patience, you can set up a pleasing effect sound, too. I think there are lots of similar devices that are made for regular guitarists. |

| Looking back over my old Goodrich brochures that I've picked up over the years in St Louis, I don't see anything like that listed. I would suspect it's a custom built or modified pedal. |

| The Goodrich L10K will do this Jack, so will most any 9VDC powered stomp box. |

First time I've tried to post photos... hope it works. Based on the labeling on the bottom of the pedal seems like the headphone feature was a factory deal, but I yield to the expertise of students of all things Goodrich, which I'm not.
