Hilton Electronics is a U.S. manufacturer of volume pedals founded by Keith Hilton, a former professional touring musician who began experimenting with electronics to improve the volume pedal he used onstage. The company is based in Ozark, Missouri, where pedals are fabricated and assembled, and Keith Hilton personally tests each unit before it ships. Hilton holds a U.S. patent for a volume pedal operated by an infrared control system, an optical design intended to eliminate the wear and noise associated with traditional potentiometer-based pedals.
The brand is best known within the pedal steel and lap steel guitar communities, where its pedals have become a common sight on professional rigs, though six-string electric players also use them. The product line includes the Standard Profile and Low Profile volume pedals, the Pro Guitar Pedal, the Digital Sustain unit, the Legend Pro-Delay, and the Signal Sweetener Pro-Sound II buffer/EQ. The company operates as a small, direct-sale manufacturer rather than through wide retail distribution.
Hilton has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Volume Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 11 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Jazz, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Marc Ribot, Efrim Menuck, and Al Di Meola.
