I love so much of Pete Drakes playing. His work on Nashville Skyline on songs like “tonight I’ll be staying here with you “ is pure genius on how to use the natural sound of the steel in context ...

You might try taking off the pedal bar attachment and having the volume pedal on the floor and back towards you a bit.

From looking at your pictures on Instagram I would suggest ordering rod extenders.

Let's do that vid call too.

Your height or the size of your foot should have very little to nothing to do with volume pedal technique or where you sit. I don’t understand the issue. Many people use those little moyo pedals int ...

I have a Jeff Maxwell built BW/K120 hybrid I would sell.

I would put everything except the Verb/delay before the volume pedal. I would also experiment with the placement of the 400 pre amp in the chain.

In general I put time based effects after the volu ...

Thanks Jim !

I'm playing The Little Darlin in south Austin on Sunday at 2:00. Its free and outdoors. Say hey if you drop by. It's a nice family type scene. The food is pretty good.

I switched to Stringjoy strings a couple years ago. I'm happy with them. I wanted to check out the NYXL's but I use different guages and I couldn't figure out a way to order them.

Emmons won’t have them. You are looking for parts made for a late model legrande .

Karen,
Cograts ! Those things are awesome. Download the control app and then link via bluetooth. Pairing is easy but you need to know the default password.

Moyo seems to be a vol pedal of choice for guitar players. I see it pretty often on guitarists pedalboards these days.

It's sorta perfect.

Larry,
I’m playing through a new milkman mini JG model with an extra cab. 2 x 12” speakers total. Both JBL D120s. I also send a pre amp output signal to a QSC powered monitor to the other side of ...

It was great to see you Craig !

The basic issue with your entire concept is that you are looking at the steel neck and the lever/pedal set up like a slide rule. This is not the case. All the functions of the pedals and levers alrea ...

Brad has been selling them for a little while now. Shoot him a note if you want one. I think he does them in small batches and they are usually pre sold. The fidelity is on another level. A bit of a d ...

I haven't tried any modeling amps yet, but It makes me wonder if on pedal steel, because of the use of the volume pedal, modeling anos are not designed respond to the attack/decay or lack of decay tha ...

I suggest playing a major scale on one string. If you can play that really in tune you should be able to make whatever tuning system you are using sound in tune.

The Sarno Spectrum is absolutely magnificent also. I don't know how he got that reverb to sound so good. It's my go to pre for direct recording these days.

I'm interested in the difference in weight between the carbon and metal guitars.

They look fantastic !

I got myself an opus one modeling amp and used it on some gigs and spent some time diving into tweaking the presets. I got some fabulous sounds but could never get to feel right or respond to my picki ...
