Thanks Donny, Andrew and Bill for giving me your opinions. Bill; yes I am sure, it is stated so in the story in the CD`s booklet and apart from that, it is one of Buddy’s signature licks. But what I ...

Buddy Emmons impressed me with his great pure steel tone in this song. Unlike anything I heard him play before. It sounds to me like a steel tuned lower than C6th. But who has more info about it.

A long tank is to big for the space. I had one of those great preamps but the spring reverb was not very good. A long tank is to big for the space. There are a lot of digital reverbs that are much bet ...

Very inspiring

O, wow this is gold. Thank you so much for all your work!

Posting online is more klimat friendly than flying from Amsterdam to Nashville. That might be a valid reason for them.

Brett and Tal, thank you both for making it more difficult! All of your suggestions are for sale in Europe so I will be busy.

Thank you all for your thoughts.

Jim: shipping the unit twice from Europe to the US only for service is out the question, simply to much time and money.

I can only tell you that my Fuzzy (1972 resembling yours) was not that well made. It was in nothing comparable to the craftsmanship of modern Excel guitars.

You can also try this on your S-10; remove the C pedal and tune your F knee lever to F#. This way your foot can stay at one place and your muscle memory does the rest.

Yes I recognize it completely. It is the reason I sold my D-10 and replaced it with a S-12 with 4 floor pedals and a hybrid tuning(B0b). Left foot over pedal A&B or left foot over 5&6 The rest ...

I corrected my comment. Who am I to disagree with Jim.

I converted two D-10s in the seventies and I can tell you that the weight gain is

The last guitar Buddy Emmons was in the market for, was a C 6th pedal steel. He wanted a 12 string

I do not use the first slot but the third slot It gives a shorter travel of the pedal, but is a little harder to push down. But I prefer it that way

Everyone seems to know that here on the forum.

Hey Justin, your last name suggests that you are from Dutch decent. It even means the same as mine, so I say to you in Dutch; “geweldig wat een sfeer”

I thank you for your efforts. In the eighties I made cassettes with BE's recordings and exchange them with my BE-fan friends here in Holland. We had fun but this is so much better. It is obvious that ...

Steve, Amsterdam calling,
