I've got a Recording King RG-32 which I like alot. I did change out the pickup. I think it plays and sounds great.

I 2nd that!! I play that Katana and it really is fantastic. Can't go wrong. Plus it's the only really low wattage (practice) amp I've found that has a 12" speaker.

Jon - Excellent tool! I'm looking forward to using it. Thank you.

I've got a couple I can send. PM me with an email address.

I'm with David on this. I had one and the effects were great, but it was so difficult to program (for me) I sold it. I've got other Zoom pedals I really like and wanted to like that one. Just too diff ...

Will a guitar reverb pedal sound OK for vocals (assuming a short cable length)?

Dennis - Finger picks or not is just personal preference. I play both, but do prefer bare fingers on a weissenborn (acoustic with nylon strings). On an electric, you can get all the volume you want wi ...

Dang, John! I always want to get your tracks, but I only play a 6 string lap steel in C6 (or G6). Oh, well..... I do have Only You tabbed out for my setup if anyone's interested.

P.S. For some excellent tracks and tabs, check out Doug Beaumeier's site.

I think this topic came up some time ago. I've made backing tracks for years. I always started with a downloaded, FREE midi file and then altered it and ran it through soft synths until I got what I w ...

Not a clue. But you might try dosing it with Deoxit or replace the pot altogether. Sorry, that's all I've got.

One other possible option is the ev everse. Rechargeable battery powered, 8" 2-way, 400W output. If I was still gigging, I'd have to give this one a hard look. ev products have always been top no ...

Thank you!

Truly a work of art. I'd almost be afraid to play it. Almost Very Happy

Brother Ethan - Awesome rendition! Would you be so kind as to share your rig, etc. with us. Would be greatly appreciated.

In my gigging days I used a pair of EV ZX1 speakers. They're 8" and hands down the finest speakers I've used. Not cheap, but worth it. I once found a used pair, but that's rare.

Another good resource for sq.neck reso is Jimmy Heffernan.

"Three Quilter Amps - All I'll ever need"

Famous last words! Very Happy

I tabbed out this beautiful, old hymn. Fairly basic, but add your own embellishments as you play, if needed.
I tabbed it in open G6, but it'll work in any 6th key, just transpose the chords. DL it at ...

I picked up Roland Cube Street EX for live work and love it. It's not just an amp, but a system. Great sound and power. CAVEAT: I haven't used it with batteries, but knowing I can is nice. Great Rolan ...

Yeah, I do too, Erv. Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies and advice.

Jim - I'm kind of taken with the Weiss. sound. I will be much more careful when I purchase another one.

Thanks for the replies. It's a new build Imperial built in CA. I've still got the strings on it came with, I think they're just std. acoustics. The open G seems fine, but I'll keep an eye on it.

I recently bought a weissenborn and was trying to decide what tuning to use. I ended up tuning to open G6 using the same intervals as open C6. This lets me play all the tunes I already know in C6. I h ...
