Bill and Tony,

Thanks for the excellent advice. I do believe that balancing the EQ is what will set my instrument on top of the background music, all sharing similar frequencies. I just wasn’t ...

Keith, thanks for the helpful information. I visited Graham’s channel and saw all of the helpful tips. Every little bit of info can help to build a bigger picture for me.

I was told that I need ...

Thanks David for the advice. Now I understand the reason for recording “dry”. I have done a lot of Photoshop work and I understand the importance of keeping a file in it’s natural state. It m ...

Thanks for the info. I've pretty much imported the background track and then played it through my headphones as I record my steel onto another track. I've tried recording both dry and wet and experi ...

Keith:

Good information here. I've imported my backing tracks as .wav files into its own track, and then when I record my steel onto a separate track, I use my headphones and cue mix. My PreSonus ...

Thanks for the advice Johan. The DAW I'm using is Studio One, the newest kid on the block. It was included with the PreSonus AudioBox interface, and by using this combo, I can achieve a 3ms latency o ...

Which technique produces the best quality recording, directly importing the MP3 or WAV backup track into the DAW while using a mic on the second track to capture the steel, or playing the backup track ...

Thanks for the input. I have a 1501-4DT with the paper cone, and it appears from doing a lot of reading that many folks prefer this particular model for steel guitar. I prefer to play with my bass cu ...

Hi Lynn,

I've done a lot of searching on the Internet and I think that you are correct about the 1501 DT.

I am also thinking about getting a Telonics speaker when they are made available. Dave ...

I have a Black Widow 1501-4DT (deep throat) speaker in my NV400. I understand that the Shallow Basket (SB) produces a more desirable sound for steel. Is it possible to recone my DT basket using a pape ...

I just bought a Nashville 400 from Randy G (a great trustworthy guy to deal with) and really like this amp. It’s everything he said it was. I would like to push the envelope and take it to the nex ...

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. My boxes are next to my volume pedal, about 9 feet from the amp. I will try to use a ground lift to determine if I have a ground-related problem, but I will ...

Now if I could get them to hum in key, I could create some pretty good effects.

I am using a One Spot power supply. All electrical components are on the same path and circuit with no other interfe ...

I've tried all of the above. The batteries are brand new alkaline. I'm pretty sure that the problem is related to a bad patch cable or just inferior quality cables. I'll order some good shielded cab ...

Thanks for all the advice. I have a Peavey Session 400, recently modded by Ken and with nothing plugged into it, as quiet as a church mouse. Using a 10ft cable directly into my Emmons Humbucker, I ge ...

Whenever I add either or both my Boss DD-2 or RV-5 stompboxes, my amp instantly picks up hum. At first, I thought it was my power supply, but discovered that running the boxes off of a 9V battery make ...

Wasn't that the same guy who was selling a Sho-Bud Maverick for $2500?

I offered him $9500, but he wouldn't take it.

Moving my amp around my guitar didn’t solve the problem unfortunately. I’ve isolated it to a “One Spot” power adapter used to power my DD-2 and RV-5 pedals. The moment I plug that into the e ...

Hi Paddy, yes, I've been awaiting for my new single coil pup to arrive, and I'll make sure that those wires will get soldered securely.

PROBLEM SOLVED! I jiggled the pickup wires where they were attached to the neck selector switch, then plugged the guitar into my amp and began to play.

Suddenly I realized that something else was ...

Thanks again for your replies. I will attempt to carefully buff these areas one at a time. If any of the changers are worn from around 12:00 to 2:00, then the geometry may have already changed. Thi ...

The guitar is a 20 year-old LeGrande II. It has a beautiful tone. If I could order new fingers, I would, but I would be concerned that it might alter that tone.

Thanks Lane for the advice. You and Peggy helped me identify a bigger problem. The guitar's changer fingers all have a definite wear pattern underneath the strings. My guess is that the 5th exchanger ...

Problem solved! At least for now, but not sure of the actual mechanical explanation. Peggy brought up an interesting point about my saddle being worn. This is the first time I’ve changed strings ...
