I use a cheap Danelectro PB&J delay. It has a lot of duck tape on it, but it keeps ticking! It also has a suprisingly warm tone. I paid about $20 for it new 6 or 7 years ago.

I play through a two channel Peavey VTX Classic Twin. I set one channel at comp volume and the other at solo volume and place the foot switch between my ABC and volume pedals...it works well for me. A ...

I just bought a used Line 6 M5 multi effects pedal. It has 100 effects, though I only use a few. They are: phaser, leslie, chrome (dobro sound), several different 'verbs and delays, compressor, and ov ...

I agree with Doug. I've listened to it dozens of times and I never seem to tire of it.

Thanks for chiming in Tommy. I was the first to review it on Amazon under my wife's account Julie H. I would post it here if I could figure out how to copy and paste on this new tablet (still learning ...

I bought the album yesterday. Already listened to it 5 times! My goal is to learn the entire album by next spring.

Again, thanks to all. I've been working several of the suggestions. Now it's just a matter of time...

Wow, thanks everyone! Some great tips here... things I never thought of.

Please keep the tips coming... I want to learn! Razz

I also play the Zum Stage One. I was in the same situation a year ago. All things considered, I went with the Stage One because I knew what I was getting. With a used "pro" model it's a c ...

37 years guitar, 8 months pedal steel!

As a guitarist, I always take the "serve the song, not yourself" approach. As a psg newbie, I'm doing the same. The song will dictate if chords, single lines, or a combination of both is b ...

Thanks for all the replies. I really appreciate it!

I used the VTX for the first time at rehearsal this week, it really cut through. I'm very happy with it as a steel amp... it's a keeper!

Thanks for the response guys!

I retubed mine with a matched set of Ruby Tubes (I'm not real wild about Ruby Tubes, but they were affordable and they work for now). The originals had developed a sev ...
