Steve, I like the simplicity of this tuning method, and is definitely going to experiment with it.

Do you also use this method on the C6 neck? If so, what notes/strings do you adjust?

Thanks, Michael. Very good to know!

Thanks, Lane. I will try your advice.

As for the Boss tuner/cent issue, perhaps Steve Lipsey could clarify this, as he uses the TU-2?

Steve, you mentioned using a Boss TU-2 tuner, and I would like to do the same, using the tuning that Lane and yourself describe. But how many cents is one light on a Boss TU-2?

I am currently using ...

I'm often having trouble finding the right volume pedal level, when playing onstage. Especially the lead level. I play a lot of festivals on fairly big stages, and I often feel my lead level is too lo ...

Lee, you're almost right. I ordered the pots from Tom monday morning, got them wednesday morning. Great service!

Tom is sending me some pots. Thanks for the help, guys.

I need a new pot for my Goodrich L 120 volume pedal. Is there an online-shop somewhere that sells those pots? Europe or the states, either is good.

What are the advantages of adding the 2nd string E-Eb change on the same pedal as the 6th string E-F change? Obviously, you can play an F9 with a high 7th, and a D7(b9) with the 5th pedal. Am I missin ...

Bob,
I'm just curious about the 2 amps-thing. Doesn't that create problems when you're playing in small places, with one amp considerably louder than the other? I only use one amp, and soundguys ofte ...

Ok. So now my feel stop is exactly at D and the C# on the 2nd string is also in tune. The C# lower on the 9th string is a bit sharp. I tuned it with the split screw but before it got to hit the C# pit ...

Thanks for your replies. I'm not sure I understand how I adjust the start of the 9th string drop to begin exactly when the 2nd string hits the D. Could you explain this a bit more detailed? Sorry. I'm ...

It's a Fessy D-10, my RKR has D#-D-C# (string 2) D-C# (string 9), (and C to C# on the C6th neck). I'm guessing it has something to do with the hex/split screws at the endplate?... If this topic has al ...

I think it's always great to hear, when artists go their own way. Lanois has his own and very distinct sound. Not only when he plays his pedal steel, but also when he's producing or writing songs. For ...

I believe most A/B boxes don't have volume knobs, which I need in this case.

John, does your Boss "eat" some of your tone? I'm a bit hesitant to Boss pedals, as I think they sometimes do ...

I usually play both a regular guitar and a pedal steel when I'm out playing gigs. I'm using the same amp for both, so I need some sort of line selector so I don't have to switch the cable every time i ...

I'll recommend two pedals by the danish brand "T-rex". They make a distortion called Mudhoney and an OD called Alberta. The Mudhoney in particular is the best sounding dist. I've ever used. ...

Ricky, I flipped the steel over to unhook the raise spring, and when I took a closer look, I noticed that there was no raise spring on the 4th string finger... Embarassed

Ricky, I'll try removing the raise spring when I get the time. Hopefully that helps...

I checked the roller, and nothing's wrong there.
Jim, I adjusted the stop and I think the pull rod has enough slack now. Also the lower finger doesn't extend further out than the others anymore.

Thanks for your reply Larry. The lower finger of that string does extend a bit further than the others. I can't push it further back, but I can, however, push the lower finger from side to side... Doi ...

When I use my E lever (E to D#) and release it again, the fourth string E-note comes back a bit sharp. It seems to me that the return spring for this string is pulling off. If this is the problem, how ...

My Fessy is working as a dream now, so I´m gonna go back to playing it now.
