Hi Trap,
Give Dave Beaty at TELONICS a call, or even an email.
He’s a member of the SGF.
I’m sure he would be glad to help.
All the best,
Murray.

I would really love a copy also Bruce, as the proud owner of a D10 9x8 Zumsteel.

Well done Paddy!!
And, a Happy New Year to you and yours, and all the best for 2023.
Cheers,
Murray.

I have had a Telonics TCA500-C and a Telonics volume pedal since late 2017.
The pedal and also the Amp are just brilliant. Great gear.
Yes, the pedal requires a power supply, but IMO that’s a sma ...

I just use the built in reverb on my TCA-500 and a Boss DD3T in the parallel effects circuit. Just set it for one slap-back and its all good.
Works a treat!

Hi again Don,
Another thing I remembered, after converting my Session 500 to a head unit, it had a hum that was very annoying. Turned out, the two chassis’ had to be insulated from one another. P ...

I got mine SH without a mark on it with a BW 1501-4 in it.
As far as I know it was standard.

Hi Don,
I have done the same with my 500. I used 3/8” ply for the head cab and it still weighed in at about 42 pounds (19kg).
Great amp though. Just too damn heavy!! Depending on your pickups, ...

Mike would sound great playing through anything!! 👍

Hi Jon,
My old â€˜71 Sho~Bud Professional had the same pickups.
They were standard as far as I know. It was purchased new in â€˜73 from the Sho~Bud shop in Nashville.

Hi Francesco,
I am pretty sure what you speak of is Paulâ€™s PEDABRO.
Yes, built by his father, and has a very unique sound. Itâ€™s virtually a pedal Dobro.

Good one Bruce!
That would nearly be a record! 13 minutes!

Hey Damir, that would be a little beast of an amp!
I was thinking of doing the same to mine, before I purchased my Telonics TCA500C.
Good luck with the sale.

Thank you so much Mickey!
That would be so great to have. I have never been brave enough to delve too far into the innards of my Zum.
Thanks once again, stay safe, keep well,
Murray. Very Happy

Hi Mickey,
Just a thought, is it possible to make it (The Video) downloadable?

Many thanks Ian. I thought it was Pete Drake , but wasnâ€™t sure. A great track IMO.

Stay safe & keep well,
Murray.

Hi all,
Does anyone remember, or know how to find who the Pedal Steel player was on Kenny Rogersâ€™ version of â€œWhile The Feelingâ€™s Goodâ€?

Many thanks, keep well.

I just love my TELONICS gear. The last gig I played using my TCA 500C Mini 12 was on Feb 29th. The gig was outdoors and it was amazing how it performed.
Plenty of power and super clean. Telonics ge ...

With respect Donny,
TELONICS did that a number of years ago.
Cheers,
Murray.

Ned, thatâ€™s it, in a nutshell.

Regards to all,
Murray.

My old Sho~Bud Professional. Built in 1971 by Paul Franklin Snr.
I owned her for 41 years, like losing an old friend.
Sold her a couple of years ago.

Hi Paddy,
Itâ€™s a beautiful steel Paddy, Iâ€™d be chasing it if you hadnâ€™t notified me about Wazzaâ€™s years ago! Good luck with it mate.
Cheers, Murray.

Bill, have you tried input 2?
Itâ€™s lower gain. I had the same problem years age with a Session 500 after changing from a Sho-Bud to a Zumsteel. The Zum had much greater output and the signal w ...

Iâ€™ve had my Telonics TCA 500-C Mini 12 and Telonics Vol Pedal for a couple of years now. Absolutely blown away by itâ€™s performance and the very handy features it has.
