Hilton V.P. (Why)

Help!!! My Hilton V.P. gives me a Buzz/hum noise, Why? If I plug in my old pot pedal the noise is gone. Love the tone of the Hilton but without the noise. Chords are all fine.
Help Andy

Andy, Email keith Hilton and see what he says. If you decide to sell it let me know. My new Zum is tooo Quiet maybe I need a pedal with a little noise. ( Just Kidding)

Thanks Andy, Good Luck.

Andy contacted me ,and I am trading Andy a brand new pedal for his old one. Last year we had a batch of about 10 pedals that had the wrong by-pass coupling capacitors put in by mistake. This did not filter out some of the high frequency noise in certain situations. All of these 10 pedals have been since repaired or replaced. Andy should be getting his pedal before long. There will be ZERO noise in the new pedal Andy gets.

Yes I did talk with Keith on the phone the other day. My V.P.Pedal is on its way. Keith is a pleasure to talk to and to do business with. I was so relieved after getting off the phone with him. I do love the TONE the V.P. gives me, and I can't wait for my new one to arrive. Thanks Keith Hilton.

Keith was very patient and helpful to me when I had some basic questions about the Hilton pedal that I bought from him. I am very happy with the Hilton and will very likely get another for my second guitar once the new amp arrives.

Keith gets my vote as one of the good guys in the business.
