Goodrich Sound releases the Goodrich Classic volume pedal

November 8, 2026 · 2 sources

Goodrich Sound has released the Goodrich Classic volume pedal, Chuya Online reported on November 8, 2026¹. The pedal is an evolution of the company's Omni volume pedal, which is no longer in production¹.

The volume pedal can run in passive mode or switch to an active circuit built around a JFET buffer¹². Goodrich Sound says the active circuit is low power and high input impedance, and that it produces a clean, natural tone with the warmth associated with analog pedals¹. Input, output and tuner out jacks sit on both sides of the pedal, which the maker says allows flexible cable routing for different setups¹². The pedal feel is adjustable, from light and smooth to a heavier action¹.

Goodrich Sound says the Classic spent more than a year in development, with testing and revision of nearly every part, and that it is built in the company's workshop in Oceanside, California, using a die-cast aluminum housing, machined parts and the company's traditional string drive¹. The maker states that a high-quality 9V battery runs the active circuit for about 600 hours in its testing¹. The pedal runs on a 9V center-positive adapter or a 9V battery, and a reverse polarity cable is included so a common center-negative 9V adapter can be used¹².

Specifications as given by Chuya Online¹:

A second report, published November 9, 2026, describes the Classic as Goodrich's high-end model and confirms the active/passive switching, the JFET buffer in active mode, the jacks on both sides and the included polarity conversion cable². Neither report gives a US price.
