My Hilton volume pedal lets too much volume out at the “off†position. I want to decrease that volume level at the “off†position, but still allow “some†volume there.
Which way do I turn the “OFF POSITION†dial to do that? I don’t want to screw this up!
Thanks. _________________ bUd

I can't remember. Mark the current position with tape and a pen so you can find it again*, then trial and error.
You can't break anything.
* second thoughts, if you don't like it how it is you wont care about finding it again. So that leaves T&E. _________________ Make sleeping dogs tell the truth!

Do turn the adjustment pot GENTLY. I adjusted mine to have a bit of signal when "off". Very easy. It helps to have a steady signal playing through it (tone generator, CD whatever) then just hold it in the "off" position and turn the pot. _________________ "To live outside the law you must be honest."

As noted be very careful as those pots are fragile and easy to break.
I thought newer Volume pedals do not have holes for those adjustments as users kept damaging the pots. |
