Common practice is to attack the strings with the volume pedal between 1/3 and 1/2 volume only. Try this and report back - I’m guessing the distortion won’t be present set this way. | |

A friend bought a steel with Minitones stamped on the pickup cover. Anyone heard of anything like this? Thanks! | |

The negative intersection of the ‘why there’s no new steel players’ and ‘the music these new steel players play sucks’ is a hilarious place to set up shop | |

I wonder if he ever used a more complete pedal setup, or if he moved to only having an A and B pedal to simplify his focus more on his hands.I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him with a couple different S ... | |

Very cool! I’m so curious about the huge red button taped on the steel!? Also, I had no idea Lanois played country pedal steel at one point. You’d never know it to hear him. | |

Is Aubrey’s steel a custom Sho-Bud from the factory, or aftermarket? Or is it a Bud in logo only? At any rate, it sounds just incredible! His touch and tone is unreal. | |

Which string (9 or 10) is more in tune with the rest of the guitar with a straight bar? Do the open 12th fret harmonics align accurately with the 12th fret marker? If so it's not likely anything to wi ... | |

On 9 and 10 it is extremely likely that you are putting more bar pressure on 10 than 9, and as you approach the 12th the slightest difference will pull ... |

Thanks Ricky. These are NYXL - might swap the 9th and see if that fixes it. Might have a bad one! | |

If I recall correctly, Lloyd Maines was the steel player on Wilco's first album, A.M. "Dash 7" is a particularly excellent example of his playing... it's mostly a steel feature.
