I have been experimenting with a Goodrich 10k pedal. I bought a bracket to hook it to my pedal board -- but the pedal sits too hight for the bracket to actually make contact with the board. Does Goodrich or anyone else make a difference size so it will actually be able to hook on? Thanks, Boo |

I think they are all about the same. I have a Goodrich 120 (standard height) and a standard height Hilton and the clips are the same size. You must have a low pedal bar as they usually fit over most that I've seen. They fit "perfect" on my Franklin. |

Did you mount the bracket like this?  ------------------

Boo:I play a Mullen U-12 and the bracket (as displayed by Nic) doesn't bottom out but is just slightly higher than the pedalboard so after pickin' for awhile the pedal would slide to the right. I added a piece of velcrose to the pedalboard and the inside of the bracket to hold it in place. Works great.

Thanks for this, Nic. I have the same issue as John. It doesn't really fit tight on the pedal bar -- it's just a little too high. So it doesn really attached solidly. Thanks again, you guys. The info is always appreciated. Boo |

I had the same problem with my bracket for my Hilton pedal. My solution was to horizontally cut the rear vertical componet to the bracket-the part between the front of the volume pedal and the rear of the pedal bar-so that it could overlap itself, similar to the top of the Goodrich bracket. I then cut two holes in one piece and two slots in the other and put it back together with two short screws. This way the height of the bracket itself can be adjusted to fit the height of any pedal bar. |

A simple solution I found was a piece of weatherstripping inserted on the underside of the bracket. (The peel and stick foam type that goes around doors and windows and comes in a roll.) It also protects the pedal bar from scratches. |

David, thanks for the good idea -- that may be the easiest way to go. Tim -- I was thinking the same thing as you described -- I had a bracket from Dekley many years ago that was designed like that. Just not sure I'm the one to pull that off  Thanks to everyone for their input. Boo |
