Goodrich 7A Super Sustain Matchbox

Billy has used this unit on every guitar he has played for many years. He would not be without it and with good reason. The 7A matches impedance and gives excellent sustain to any pedal steel. By using the high end of Gain and advancing the volume pedal, a long sustain can be obtained. It has an adjustable gain of 0 dB to 15.5 dB. It is a true variable gain, not just a potentiometer acting as a variable L-pad.

Other features are a battery on-off switch which is also off when output jack is unplugged. Battery life is at least one year based on 5 hours per day, 6 days a week. In addition it offers an ideally buffered input and output, extra quiet circuit, excellent signal-to-noise ratio and full range tone control. Comes with 12” patch cable. Clips to the leg of your pedal steel. #7AMB. $199.00.

 

Goodrich Steel Driver III

This unit, when in the Steel Mode, is similar to Goodrich’s Supersustain Matchbox, including an impedance matching tone control. In the Fuzz mode, it provides a distortion-fuzz circuit which can be adjusted from mild distortion to full fuzz by turning the Depth knob. The output level of each mode can be independently adjusted. Comes with 12”patch cable. Clips to the leg of your pedal steel. Battery Life: one year or more. #SD3. $305.00.


Hilton Digital Sustain

As the name implies, this unit digitally sustains the signal from your guitar pickup. It allows the windings of your pickup to reach a dynamic range never before thought possible. Frequency response is increased to dynamic levels throughout the entire spectrum. Bandwidth performance is enhanced and widened to extended levels. It provides the edge you need to cut through with quality sound. As it cleans up your sound, the high, low and midrange dynamics are enhanced. Single notes sound fuller, bigger and better. As you play chords you can better hear individual note separation. This technology comes from 1997 IC chips that are specially laser trimmed for dynamic circuit performance. The single control knob allows you to dial in the ‘sweet spot’ your guitar is capable of. Clips onto leg of guitar. 12 volt wall adaptor is furnished with unit but it can be operated from battery or the adaptor. #KH-DS. $149.00.

 

Hilton Hil-Tone

This product is similar to the very popular Boss Tone of years gone by which gave the pedal steel guitar the ability to mimic string effects. Similarly, the Hil-Tone gives the pedal steel a multitude of effects such as fiddle and orchestral strings. Different strings of the instrument in combination with octaves and a lot of reverb will provide the spacious effect of a string section backing the singer. Very cool! It can also be used to simulate rock guitar sounds. An excellent effect to have on hand that will be sure to impress those who hear it. Plugs directly into guitar. #KH-HT. $149.00.

 

 

Peavey Dual Deltafex




This unit works most excellently with the pedal steel. We mainly use the Delay and sometimes a bit of reverb but the Dual Deltafex is like having two multi-effects units in one. Providing powerful digital signal processing with flexible dual audio connections in a single rack space makes this unit perfect for studio or live applications. #PV-DDF. $176.00
