Yes Tom...I have the EPS 15C in a Session 400 for 2-3 years now, and I really like it.

Also the Eminence TT 12" is in my Evans JE 150 and it is much better than the stock speaker. I had Weber' ...

Yes Tom...I have the Wah pedal that you asked about. It's the Crybaby GCB-95, bought back in the late 90's. I remember right off the bat I didn't care for the noise it created even when it was in the ...

I've been enjoying the Maxon AD9 lately. Very quiet and built like a tank. I have also liked the Carbon Comp in the past. I don't have a Carbon Comp at the moment, but I'd like to try the mini version ...

In focusing on your comment about the TT12 speaker in a 2 X 6V6 amp...I can give a big thumbs up on that because of a different amp than the one I described above. This is a SF Deluxe Reverb from the ...

What features would make a Perfect Tube Amp for Pedal Steel?

Yes...It is a monster topic. I love Telecasters, and over the years I've built quite a few. It amazing to me how any choice of component(s) change the whole character of the instrument. But to address ...

Yes Jim...I have one. Bought it when they first came out. I've not tried it with instruments, just vocals. Usually run it thru a compressor into a recording with a pop filter in front of it. I think i ...

but I have a lot of time on my hands these days.

If it's of help, I would definitely rule out the 1st reissue Vibrolux Reverb for PSG. When they first came out I did a side by side A-B comparison with an original 1970 SF model. The reissue started ...

Oh...Very, very cool. I've always loved that song. And that performance of it was terrific. Thanks Jim.

Hi Allan...I have an assortment of NOS resistors in various values. If you find out the values you need and let me know what they are, I'll see if there is anything there that you need.

I can't compare the MXR to the Earth Drive, but I do have a 2 knob OD pedal by Boss from the early 80's. I've owned other OD's also, like the Tube Screamer, DOD etc.. One thing I can say about the Ear ...

Here's a little original instrumental doodad with plenty of PSG used. Recorded in late April or early May this year after many of us had been stuck inside for a couple of months. I was "a little ...

Thanks for the topic Tony. I think lately I've been steel delinquent myself. Back in March when the quarantine began, I kind of went on a song writing binge, which included PSG, but the 6 stringers an ...

The guy who sold me my 1st PSG included a WT 12 with the sale. It's in it's case with the owner's manual. I've been using a newer Peterson strobe tuner for years and I hadn't even looked at the WT-12 ...

I have had good results with a length of braided string from a window blind. It's been on my Emmons pot pedal for a couple of years with no problems.

I recently got a Heritage H-137. Very much like the LP Jr. and the LP Special. It's got 2 P90's and a wraparound bridge. Made in the old Gibson factory. The stock wraparound has 2 adjustment screws on ...

I believe my Session 400 is a 1977 according to it's serial # and came with the stock Black Widow. I replaced that speaker with an Eminence EPS 15C (which is a neo mag) and it's been very good in that ...

Congratulations Mike...that is really a bad-dawg. It sounded great in the 1x12 closed back speaker and I betcha it would have sounded just as good in the 2x12 cab with not much of a
little tweak on ...

My experience seems to be the same as the others here... and in tube amps also. I don't know what's up with modern tanks made by Accutronics, but putting the MOD tanks in seems to improve the reverb i ...

Thanks very much for your insights on the topic. Some cool stories in there too! Personally I can certainly appreciate the analysis of materials and winding techniques that many of these pickup makers ...

I know we have lots of 6 string Tele pickers here, and I'm curious to hear if any folks have tried some of these brands of boutique pickups.
