Some of the most technical advanced pedal board builders use Hilton volume pedals in their build. Here is a recent picture if a build one of the pedal board builders sent me. The pedal board build looks beautiful.

Jack, don't be a stick in the mud. You could have pedals on your pedal board that would shine your shoes, and brush your teeth. LOL.

I am a stick in the mud. Don't like amps with more than three knobs. Plug straight into the amp

Jack, you know some of the young players want their guitar to sound like a "Buzz Saw" hitting a rusty nail. How are you going to get that special "Buzz Saw" sound, without some kind of pedal or pedal board?

I don't like the buzz sound like you do. Last time I heard you, you had too much buzz for my taste

Jack, the pedal board in the picture is not my pedal board. There are professional pedal board builders that build pedal boards for people. Some of the most famous pedal board builders use Hilton pedals on their builds. These famous pedal board builders build pedal boards for famous shows and players all over the world.
With that cleared up Jack, let me comment concerning me having too much buzz for your taste. Jack, I play in two different bands. One band are young guys around 30 years old. The other band are older guys around 65 years old. I don't use a pedal board in either band. In the young guys band the only effects I use is my Hilton delay, and a tube screamer. In the band of older guys, the only effect I use is my Hilton delay.
So if you heard buzz, fuzz, overdrive, or distortion you were listening when I was playing in the band of young guys. In the band of older guys there are twin fiddles, and the type of music they play does not call for any type of buzz, fuzz, overdrive, or distortion. On the other hand some of the songs the young guys play requires the tube screamer effect unit. I know you don't like any buzz, fuzz, overdrive, or distortion, and that is OK. I really don't like it either Jack, but some of the songs the newer guys play requires a limited use of it on occasion. You need to come hear me play clean and clear with the band of older guys, the band with the twin fiddles. Hope this clears up too much buzz for your taste.

Part of what’s wrong with Traditional Country Music. I have more pedals than I could ever use. Pedals for my Strat, Tele and B3 Hammond organ. Heck I don’t want pedals (on any pedal steel) (other than delay or volume pedal)and won’t ever try to play this top 40 POP they call country. It’s an embarrassment and a joke. But the drugstore cowboys and the people that don’t know any better eat it up. Heck Jerry Garcia was my first Pedal Steel hero who died too young. Those type pickers never used pedals other than a volume pedal. Raw ZB! Nothing better!

Just my 2 cents

Unfortunately he was an “addict”. Second best to Jimi Hendrix as far as “trailblazer” Lead Guitar, Pedal Steel Guitar, anything he wanted to play.

I guarantee “jelly roll” wouldn’t impress him or Hank Jr.
These punks that are there with their caps on backwards or cowboy hats you would buy at a cheap carnival that look like they been hit with a bomb are really cool also. Everyone should have 3 of them. I sound like an old fart. I am a senior citizen, and was raised to tip your hat to ladies and look a true man in the eye and shake his hand if an agreement has been made, and I to this day respect all Veterans and their purpose in life. I wouldn’t pour a drop of water on any of the non American values exhibited if there was a catastrophe. Not many I associate with would either. Great Rock and Roll, Great Blues, Great Traditional Country is fine by my interpretation of what Nashville used to be. Not that way now. It’s a 150# Booger!

Just my 2 cents:

Ian
I have been taught in the last few months that it’s all in the bar and picking by the player. I still believe that and always will. There are pedals for all genres of music(thousands). Heck I cannot play a complete song yet on pedal steel but I will add the largest pedal box in the World wouldn’t help me.

My 2 cents

That's a really well set up pedalboard, and would no doubt be just the thing for a modern six stringer in a variety-pop wedding band, especially a modern six-stringer who had good taste in volume pedals.

I'm fairly sure, though, that for most steel players such a pedalboard would be the equivalent of a riding lawnmower powered by a Chevy 427. Winking

Ian... That certainly was an emphatic plea and convincing argument from an obvious gear head on the issue of tone. However, it could be as simple as the color of his guitar. You know.... it's gotta be BLACK if its gonna have any tone at all! Smile

NUR SCHWARZE GITARREN HABEN EINEN TON!!!!
