It's been maybe 7-8 years since I did these mods, but I believe I remember what I did.

The master volume is "2" on the Normal channel side.

The Vibrato side of the amp is the sDumbel ...

If anybody is seriously interested in entertaining buying it, I'll send pics. Price? I dunno. What's it worth? I don't care about extracting every penney I can for it, I just want to move it. I'll ...

I have a 1970 vintage (approximately) Fender Twin Reverb that I modified to emulate (supposedly, based on internet schematics) a sDumbel Steeel Striiing Siiinger (name misspelled because it got struck ...

Those shoes look VERY comfortable AND make a great fashion statement... the moccasins too! I'll have to try some moccasins some time.

I can't speak to changing the tone stack, but there's a book called "Great Tube Amp and Guitar Mods" by Mike Thompson. It has all sorts of Fender amp mods... master volume, adding tone colo ...

Hi everyone. I bought some fuzzy slippers with soles from Keen and discovered by accident that they work real well for pedal steel (for me, anyway). Actually they work better than my standard steel ...

This is an excellent thread of huge importance. Our choices define us largely. If we choose to practice the wrong thing every day, not only does it NOT serve to improve us, thus wasting time, but we ...

I just got one of Tom's TAB racks and love it. Not only do I no longer have to hassle with a music stand that takes up room and is farther away from the steel, but the rack is well built and super wi ...

That's a very good question - why don't steels have locking tuners on them? I think the reason is "because that's the way it's always been done." But, locking tuners are the way to go. I h ...

I'm not easily impressed - not at all, but Dave Biller very much impresses me. He's at the very top of his game - 6 string and steel. Biller is fantastic - absolutely killer - at both instruments -a ...

I've only been playing steel for about a year, but I've played much electric guitar for decades. I've played both humbuckers and single coils extensively. For my taste, and it is entirely a matter o ...

Hi. Best Amp for Steel, I really like my '70 Twin Reverb that I modified to be very similar to a Dumble Steel String Singer. Frankly, the distorted tones are not that convincing (not that they're ne ...

Hi. If you still have the Hilton pedal, I'll offer $175 for it assuming it's the type with the separate power supply.

This is a wonderful thread. I am a newbie at PSG, but a good guitar player. For decades I avoided learning theory (scales, arpeggios, intervals, etc.) like the plague because it was painful and I al ...
