I was setting up my rig for the first of 3 shows on a 3 night cruise last month when my worst fear came true - my Hilton volume pedal was dead. No signal made it through the pedal. I carry a backup po ...

Lane,
The compressors steel players use while playing have absolutely nothing to do with compressors that are used in the studio. Whole different ballgame.

That probably used to be true, but it's ...

Darn, too slow. If it falls through consider me second in line!

Deal alert! And I just ordered one full price. Someone snatch this up before I buy it for my second board.

+3 on the half & half Smile

She's sold! To me!

I built this one and it has been living under my pedalboard for years. Sounds great and is already laid out for easy assembly on a stipboard.

Hey John! I've been rocking the Cali76 Compact Deluxe since release in September. It's hopefully my last stop (for a while) in the search for a compressor that can be transparent enough to sound good ...

I went to NAMM but when I stopped by only the quilters were in use, he hadn't tried out the Z yet. Maybe he did later?

You will need some sort of headphone amp. Your amp might have one (Nashville 112 does for example), otherwise you'll have to buy one.

Wireless really seems like a lot of added hassle in this use case. I would just get a solid pair of headphones and an extension chord so that there's plenty of slack, route it behind you and it's pret ...

I love my lex. You can pair it with something like a POG to get real hammond-like tones, but these days I prefer it on it's own with the steel. You can also build an external fast/slow switch to contr ...

I'm new to in-ear systems and still up in the air about which personal earphone amp to get. I have a small Behringer mixer (X1204USB), but feel like it's overkill compared to the small battery operate ...

I use my Tech 21 blonde exactly as you describe. I keep my steel amps (Milkman Half & Half or 40w Mini) set for steel, then use the blonde to ast as a bit of a limiter, add a little dirt, cut the ...

If you love the sound of the Flint and you're looking for both trem and verb, I say just get the flint. Maybe you can save a few bucks buying both separately, but if you want top quality it'll be more ...

I would probably go the EQ pedal route. I would dial your amp for whatever you use more (be it PSG or guitar) then use the EQ pedal for the other one. If I were to double on steel and guitar I would p ...

I put my amp this tilt back stand to point it at my ears: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002PZ3BY/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_SC_dp_1

Definitely a feature (as other have stated to show the current delay time), not a bug. If it really bugs you I guess you could cover it up, but I think it's very useful to be able to visually see the ...

I just have a regular guitar one on the floor that I operate with my hands. I'm flexible and have long arms though. See it on the right of this picture:

Have any of you tried the Origin Effects Cali76 and/or SlideRIG on pedal steel?

The Cali76 is a clone of the revered 1176 studio compressor in pedal form. They just added a new series of compact ve ...

The Watkins Family Hour (a monthly-ish musical variety show in LA organized by Sean and Sara Watkins) are releasing a self titled CD next week that's dripping with Greg Leisz goodness. It's available ...

Some effects, like overdrive/distortion need to see a steady signal strength to work correctly, and therefore need to be before the volume pedal.

Most players may prefer that, but OD/dirt pedals de ...

First of all, this is the wrong forum section. This should be in "Electronics".

Which pedals? When I used a NV 112 I would plug directly into the amp from my steel, then put all of my ped ...

I would argue that steel is making a big resurgence in the alt-country and indie-rock genres. There were probably as many steels at Coachella as there were Stagecoach this year. Greg Leisz has almost ...
