Does any steel player use the pedal patch input that is made on the Peavey amps? I have not ever seen one player do this and yet Peavey still includes them on thier steel amps. Is there a difference in tone? Just wondering? Al Svenddal

Hey Al, I've been doing that for about 15 years now except for the 2 years I had a Hilton pedal. The Hilton pedal doesn't recommend you do that. I quit using the Hilton as I hated that dang wall wart which was attached to it. I don't see to much difference in tone with the front patch except when you're playing with your pedal backed off. It seems to retain the tone better through the whole pedal travel. I use a Goodrich L-120 now with a NV 1-12 and a NV 400....JH in Va.

I do. With my Goodrich 120 the tone is slightly better, sort of clearer that way, with less amp noise.

I too used it until I got a Hilton volume pedal.

| Always have, still do. Better tone, less noise. |

Exactly the same thing and for the same reason as Jerry Hayes posted.

I use the patch method, as I go through a passive volume pedal.
I'm still crap. |

| Bingo! The purpose for the PRE EQ PATCH is so that when the volume pedal is increased, the tone remains the same. Also, with this patch the amplifiers' input "sees" a steady impedance from the guitar. |

I used the pedal patch on my Nashville 1000 with my Goodrich pedal and when i bought the Hilton pedal I used it as well as recommended by Mike Brown. Never noticed a problem. What is supposed to be the problem.

| There may not be a "problem" using the Hilton in the "volume pedal" loop. However, it's not needed as the Hilton pedal provides the constant load to the pickups, does not have any volume loss like a pot pedal and doesn't change the tone. |

I've owned ( -Pairs of Peavey Amps. since ’82 and never bothered to use the Pre~EQ Loop for my v/p. I never noticed any great improvement, worth the extra effort!

| Come on, John -- you're not supposed to notice any difference! You're just supposed to because it's supposed to be better. For crissake. That said, I've used the pedal patch with happy results, but now I play out of an old Christmas Tree...don't ask me how...and it does get "needley" in there...but it's good camaflouge to hide from my lovely sweetheart if I'm playing too long. |
