Here is my steel guitar rendition of Runaway. I have acquired a couple of new boxes recently, one is a leslie simulator(DLS Effects RotoSim) and the other is an adjustable low/high pass filter(EHX Knockout) and have employed both boxes on this track.
Runaway was a number-one Billboard Hot 100 song made famous by Del Shannon in 1961. It was written by Shannon and keyboardist Max Crook, and became a major international hit. It is #472 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time from 2010.
The track was recorded "Open Air" with a little Zoom H2n portable recorder, processed in Audacity as a WAV and converted to mp3.
I started playing steel guitar in May 2012 and am having great fun with it.

I am a bit conservative when it comes to effects, so have the dry/wet signal skewed to the dry side, which preserves the tone(adjustable internally). It was in slow chorus mode the whole way through, so there was no spin up or down.

| That's a pretty cool sound. Great use of the RotoSim, which seems to sweeten the sound just enough to make the frequencies sway a little more, which suits the chord structures really nice. I enjoyed that track a lot, Pete. |
