Hi, Peter, I've used my SlideRig a good bit with both pedal and lap steel. It definitely does the advertised "Lowell George in a box" thing well, which for me is a real standout with lap steel. On pedal, for me at least, I find enough sustain and "hang" in the instrument itself that I don't really want the increased sustain the SlideRig provides, but that's mainly because I pick up my lap steel when I want to go for rock/blues sustain styles. I think for many people the Cali one channel version would do everything they need on pedal, unless you need the advantage of the two channels for presets. Great units!

Thanks Mark,
that is more or less what Simon of Origin Effects told me.
Does anybody else use the SlideRig? |

I use the slide rig with lap steel and find it the most box of fun I have ever purchased. The sustain "clean" hangs in for a long time and can be manipulated with your vibrato with the bar. I have not used it with my pedal steel but plan on trying it with my Weissenborn shortly. I'll comment when I try it out.

This is on my "need to have" list...first I have to get the Retro Instruments 176 compressor, which unfortunately is 10X the cost of this one...
