I've had a couple for a long time--an FM 5E3 (basically a 5E3 Deluxe circuit with both a Fender and a Marshall tone stack), an Octal preamp and a 12AX7 preamp (sold it when I got the Octal). They've ...

Im a lefty, and play a lefthanded steel. I have wondered about trying a right hand guitar, by sitting on the opposite side, and moving the pedals and pedal bar accordingly, and moving or extending th ...

Ive got a Mini Bassman, with the effects loop option. It has 6L6s in it now. It functions as advertised. Having a 2 channel Marshall and Fender front end is interesting, and useful, but I assume th ...

That's quite the path. Try marina gigs, stairs ramps docks, and dragging the PA. Whew!

Doesnt a lighter string swing more thru the pickup field and produce more volume? I could be wrong. I keep a strat strung with .013-.056 nickels, and its much softer than strung with .010s 0r .011s. ...

For lighter low volume gigs, you can more than get by with a Blues Jr, Classic 30 or Bandit, or a Katana - repeakering can make the biggest difference. I ocassionally use a Pro Jr at a community danc ...

Any knobs?

Wish we were closer.

Ill take it, pm sent.

I had the same sensation when mine was new. I learned to EQ it, and also learned how important mids are in an amp and speaker setup. Also, dont fool your ear by comparing with a telecaster or strat. ...

I just looked up the resistance of your pickup, around 29k ohms. My George L is around 19k ohms. My guitars run around 8-10k. Id say, you've got a hot signal, overdriving your preamp. You might loo ...

Sounds familiar, if its worse up the neck. I believe its a form of harmonic distortion, IMD, etc. Try these:

I thought a proper seat was a luxury, but after getting one as a gift, its essential. It goes with my steel, or I don't go.

He was a fav guitarist and musician. Highway Call was a surprise find back in college, and probably the first pedal steel I heard in that setting.

Isnt it just called a "six string" or flattop or archtop?

I like that term, Lol. I play a lot of armpit guitar, when I'm not playing the sewing machine..

Too pointy for me. I wish i could use my old Justins, but can't. I haven't found any boots that work for me. Im using light weight sneakers but really need something dressier.

You might read and study the dialog on this site for a good bit, plus research the steel sounds and players you prefer, and their gear. I learned a ton, and eventually learned the first U12 I bought ...

I really like the dynamic response of a high power, large transformer tube amp, with a good distortion pedal OR multi effects when needed. I really need the crystal clean with volume before breakup.

Im interested if tim isnt.
