I have had the last piece of junk pot going out on me I will ever and you can quote, ever going out on me for the rest of my born days. I am going to order 2 Hiltons tommorow and next week I am going to order 1 more, so I will have a double backup. I have never been so mad at junky stuff before in my life. I almost had to put my OLD LADY out with the cats tonight to convince her of the utmost, I cain't say it on the forum, peeeeeed off I am with the junk they sell now days. She said, go ahead and get what you want, Quote me and her. Steel guitar players need good stuff!!! Ain't that true love? Opps, I put this in the wrong place. Moderator please move this to the correct place. Sorry all of you have to listen to this. I didn't say I could spell.

| NO, I just have one of them, what you called them with a sorry pot, cain't get a good pot no more. Don't want a pot no more, If the high dollar pedals do not work I will play without one like the old time hands used to do. |

Colby for the life of me i don't remember,but didn't i give you that new goodrich volume pedal to you when you bought my steel?
Think i told you the pot was no good when i got it new and didn't use it.
But i had put some cleaner in the pot which doesn't last long,and if i recall i told you about the bad pot when i first bought it.
But you got it cheap enough if you are the one i gave it to.lol.Tracy |

Rhymes with potentiometer?
Lyrics:
"Oh my volume pedal has a bad potentiometer.
About as fun as a rectal thermometer.
I don't want to be crass
Both are a pain in the A..!"
Chorus:
"Allen-Bradley why'd you have to go..
And start making 'em in old Mexico.
Am I the only one who believes.
The best pot these days has seven or nine leaves!"
Credit Frank for the "seven or nine" lyrics. I would not want him suing me for writers royalties.

Gee, I have been using pot pedals by Goodrich for 30 years with no problems, I have used the George L replacement pots with great success, no problems there either. I will admit that changing a pot is no picnic, but I have done it many times. If you don't give those ol goodrich pedals to that fellow from Ohio, your welcome to send them to me, gee, I'll even pay you for them!!

Shows how much I know about pot!
I must have gotten it confused with poison oak.
For the horticulturists out there I will edit it. |
