Goodrich Sound is an American manufacturer of volume pedals and guitar electronics, founded in 1965 by Ollie and Curt. The company built its reputation within the pedal steel guitar community, where its string-actuated, forged-aluminum volume pedals became a long-standing fixture on stage and in the studio. In 2015, Jim Palenscar and Kevin Ryan acquired the brand and relocated operations to Oceanside, California, where it continues to produce pedals and replacement potentiometers.

The product line centers on volume pedals for guitar, bass, pedal steel, and keyboard. Passive models include the H-120 Highboy and the low-profile L-120 LowBoy, both built around a string-drive mechanism and adjustable tensioning axle. The active L-10K and H-10K use a built-in buffer for long cable runs, while the Omni LowPro offers switchable active/passive operation. The lineup also includes the Baby Bloomer preamp pedal and a range of pots, mounts, and repair parts.

Among pedal steel players, Goodrich has been associated with figures such as Speedy West and Jay Dee Maness, and the pedals have carried over into wider use by electric guitarists looking for a durable, low-noise volume control.

Goodrich Sound has 9 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Volume Effects Pedals and Fuzz Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 12 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Funk / Soul. Notable users include Adam Jones, Dan Auerbach, and Adrian Belew.
