Greg, have you tried the for sale section of the Brisbane Pedal Steel club web site?

The Australian ABC (public broadcaster) popular music comedy TV quiz show "Spicks and Specks" gave the PSG some time in the spotlight this week. They have a regular segment where well known ...

Mike,
I have had one for a few years now but am about to trade it out. I like the concept and the sounds but it adds complexity to my setup that I don't really need. One of the attractions was the ja ...

I'm not sure the freestyle rhythm thing is limited to amateurs but I guess Willie Nelson has paid his dues long enough to do whatever he pleases. I must admit when I saw him tour in Australia, I was g ...

Thanks Bob, but even I kind of sussed that out. I was wondering if turning the battery off necessarily meant no signal passed through at all, sorry if that seems obvious to others but I was just tryin ...
