No matter what kind of volume pedal you use on stage, it sure is a good idea to have "a good ole Goodrich for backup."

Your right Lee. My Hilton let me down. My fault but I was without. Not going to happen again.

I've been using a Hilton for nigh on 12 years not and it's never let me down, but I'm anal enough that I never leave home without my Goodrich

I have had two walwarts for a Hilton die on me. Both times at an outdoor gig, after sound check, just before first downbeat. Never had the pedal go south on me though. I also have a Goodrich electronic pedal that I have in my pak-a-seat as a backup.

Hilton's are fine pedals, until they're not. I've had passive pots get scratchy, but I've never had a Goodrich stop working completely.

It's always good to have a backup pedal with you at a gig. It may be annoying to have to swap out pedals in the middle of a song; but, not nearly as annoying as not having a backup pedal to switch to!

I guess it didn't "quit completely" but when the string broke on my ShoBud pot pedal, it rendered it pretty useless. Fortunately, I had a "good ole Goodrich" as a spare!
Which could also break a string. I guess it's a good idea to have a spare, period.

I have a Goodrich L10K and another L10K always with a fresh battery with me, tried others but Goodrich is the only one I like so far, Hear Jim Palenscar may be working on something great tho for an upscale Goodrich

Several years ago Lee Baucum loaned me a Goodrich pedal until I could get a new Hilton shipped. The power cord pulled away from the pedal body inside the Hilton I was using. Went to full volume right in the middle of my solo on "Blue Bayou". I'm sure it was My Fault. Since that I carry two Hilton pedals. Thanks Lee.
