I have taken two measurements from each of My pedals
Measurement 1 is from the centre of the pivot pin to the top of the pedal.

Measurement 2 is from the top of the pedal in line with the pivot pin to the floor.

Telonics is 1, 25m/m 2, 50m/m

Goodrich L120 is 1, 23m/m 2, 45m/m

Lehle 1, 30m/m 2, 60m/m

I use the Goodrich at home only and the Telonics for gigging and the Lehle was bought as a backup and I have only used it a couple of times at home although it is a superb pedal. I have never found any noticeable difference in My foot position when using any of these pedals.

I had a Hilton pedal, but have gone back to my old faithful Goodrich.

I'm interested in your comment Roy. As someone who has only ever used a Goodrich, I have it in my head that a potless pedal will sound like the steel plugged straight into the amp, i.e. pure and unadulterated but lacking in body, warmth and character (all forms of adulteration, I know). I don't see myself as particularly 'old school' (Ha!) but I do have this prejudice...it would be nice to compare the two though.
