I used one of these Goodrich pedals today and I liked the sound of it. According to the engineer, these pedals reproduce the sound of the instrument very truly. If that's the case, then my Emmons pedal is actually accentuating the highs -- it was much brighter. Does anyone have any experience with the H-10K pedal? I would appreciate your input. Thanks, Boo

I have been running an H-10K pedal for a bunch of years now, and have had absolutely no problems with the pot or the mechanics of it. I gave up on the 500K pot pedals years ago when good pots became unavailable...other than changing a 9V about once a year this thing has no issues and it sounds as good or better than my other pedals (which are 500K pot models) so it's personal preferrence but I really like mine. Just my 10 cents worth ( Inflation )

I have two of them and thats all I've used in the last 8 or 10 years. Like Leroy, I change the battery every year or two, but I've never had to replace a pot.

I have been using a Goodrich 10K for about three years now and I prefer it over my L120 and LDR. The battery will last a year or more and is easy to change and you don't have to worry about electrical plug ins. Much better the the 500 pots.

I'd have to say, though, Boo, that I find it unlikely that your passive Emmons pedal is accentuating the highs. Losing lows or mids and creating the illusion of a high boost maybe? A passive pedal can lose signal but it won't boost anything. So maybe the Goodrich is restoring some fullness that was being lost?

Thanks to everyone for their input. Jon, your point is very valid -- any idea what in the circuit would cause me to lose lows/mids? Thanks again, Boo

You're loosing those frequencies thru the pot
itself. Some guys use an additional pot to
get them back. I just use either a 100K or
220K resistor across the input & output tabs on
my 500K pots. Makes a heckuva difference!

Thanks, Jay. It's funny, I've used my Emmons pedals for so long, I never took the time to A/B them with anything else. However, the other day when I was going directly into Pro Tools using AmpFarm, there was a dramatic difference in the frequency ranges/Tone of the pedals ... in truth, one was not necessarily better than the other, just very different. I'll have to see if I can find someone who's not "electronically challenged" as I am to try your solution. Thanks again. Boo
