I have 2 sets of 3 round-end Landis picks. I'd thought the softer sound and feel was due to the sterling silver composition, but more likely it's as much due to the shape.

A bit off topic from "Bayou", but here he is covering Ed Black's "Silver Threads" solo. Pretty much note-for-note, but with more right notes.

If I'd been born in 1900.

Oh, for a freight elevator! Winking

I'd use the F/X loop with double 1/4" cables. Used to do that with my 112 and DD-6 Sounded just a little cleaner than having everything in line.

Tim's right. A volume pedal is (arguably) optional for non-pedal steel and not often used at all by six-stringers; under those conditions a little grit is desirable, and controllable grit even more so ...

IIRC Ken still has them. It's an easy swap with an older 112 that has the non-soldered factory chips. Later ones with the soldered chips need either a tech or some experience with a soldering iron. My ...

I LIKE that!

No steel?

No chance. Winking

And I have the Half & Half with a 15". Sounds at least as good as my Session 500 and split-cabs Twin Reverb (with JBLs), and at 30 pounds is textbook grab-and-go. Tube pre-amp, class D power. ...
