I have a Goodrich volume pedal model 120. When I play through the pedal it has too much bass on it. Maybe someone ahas an idea what's wrong?
Thanks, Dick

Make sure it's connected correctly. The front jack is the input jack (or it is if it's internally wired correctly). If it's reversed it can be bassy.

Pot pedals usually lose treble as they're throttled back. There's a mod to correct this, but I can't remember what it is. Just a resistor and a cap as I recall. A tank circuit??

This is the final word on that---get a Goodrich Matchbox 7A. It removes that bassy "blanket" from your sound, and increase the gain to about 8 on the knob and you'll get very close in tone to electronic pedals. This won't, however, cure scratchy pots or the generally lousy taper of most pots.
