Hi Everyone, Keith Hilton has ask me to make this announcement for him about his "NEW STYLE" Hilton Pedals.
Keith has been working on these upgrades for some time now, I always thought, how do you improve on the BEST, but Keith has done it.
I'll go through each upgrade one at a time here and try to explain it the best I can.
First of all, the new pedals are all aluminum, with a slight different look, they are less than 1/2 the weight of his older pedals, Man their nice!!!
Secondly, Keith now has a NEW power supply, 1/2 the size of the old power supply and about a tenth the weight. But the best part about this power supply is, it plugs in and unplugs from the pedal. WOW, this alone is worth the wait. This power supply is (self switching) now let me try to explain that. This power supply operates between a range of 100 to 240 volts, and a range of 47 to 63 Hz
Now this is really super great news for the foreign country buyers of the Hilton pedals.
This means, I could take my Hilton pedal from Arizona to England, Japan, anywhere I wish, and plug in into the wall over there and PLAY.
Now, for the foreign orders they will be an additional charge of $20.00 for your country's specialized plug, whitch Keith will install on your power supply before shipping, as each country's plug is different. The tone on these pedals has even incresed to a new level, if that's possible.
And, your old bracket will still work just fine on the new style pedals.
All of these upgrades are just great news and Keith has keep his pedals modestly priced for ten or twelve years. However as a result of higher material cost and restyling of his pedal to be the best it can be, effective (January 15th, 2008 their will a price increse on both the Standard and the Low Profile pedals of $10..00 each. This small price in my opinion is very small considering there has been no increses for 12 years for the Hilton pedals.
The remaining stock on the old style is very very small, as I only have 2 or 3 of them left.
Just a thought, if you want to save $10.00 before the price goes up January the 15th, get you order in NOW!!! And remember, at Fred's Music we have "FREE SHIPPING" on all Hilton pedal in the lower 48 states.
Thanks for your attention folks and I look forward to serving you with your needs in Hilton Pedals and all the products we sell. Merry Christmas and God bless you all.

Keith, Do you have any idea how many guys you are putting in the doghouse with all these wonderful new accessories. As I am typing this message I can see my wife goose-necking from the couch to see what bit of equipment I am drooling over now.
This same scenario is playing out all over the world as each of us part-time hackers is mentally calculating how many gigs it will take to afford this "must have" new piece of equipment. Oh well, I guess I am the lucky one because I don't live that far away and I can probably get a first hand look before all the reviews start popping up..... Oh Oh.... here comes the wife.... see ya later... |

| Fred, I really like the idea of the smaller, lighter power supply. That was my hangup with the origninal issue pedal in that the power supply was so cumbersome and did not detach from the unit. See you in Phoenix. |

Fred, this is good news! I've had two of the low profile Hilton pedals in the past and the main reason I got rid of both of them was that d@mn attached wall wart.......Thanks for the info...JH in Va.
