Hi John, Maybe reach out to Ed as he's a super nice guy in addition to being an incredible player and one of my heroes. The stuff he played on Lightfoot's songs is classic and timeless.

Hi Karen, I have a D10 G2 & a S10 Discovery. I've never checked the cabinet drop on either with a tuner but I don't think 5 cents is excessive. Here's my take on it: Every pedal steel is different ...
