Just got the new Dobro emulator stompbox from Tom Bradshaw yesterday, here's my report:
It sounds great!
Here's a setting I like a lot; it even sounds wonderful on the low E string on my extended E9 Mullen.
Well done, Tom!

I also received mine yesterday and I am impressed with it. My settings are about the same as your illustration. I think Tom did well.

Are you guys putting it before or after the volume pedal? I have it after and it really varies the sound depending on volume pedal setting.
Setup:
Steel to Sarno BB to VP to effects to amp.
thx

Bob,
I don't have one of these, but every simulator I have owned (Match-Bro, Bo-Bro, EQ boxes) have always sounded best before the volume pedal.
Since you are also using a Black Box, I would probably go: Guitar -> Black Box -> resonator -> other effects except reverb and delay pedals (I would put these after the VP) -> Volume Pedal -> amp.

I just got my MXR Resonator and it's a tone party. My weissonborn can sound like a dobro and adds unique tonal qualities to my other instruments. This pedal is not a one trick pony.

| I got my resonator pedal back in February but didn't have a chance to put it on stage until two weeks ago. Unlike everyone else I bought mine for a different purpose. Besides playing pedal steel I play dobro, and have struggled over the years to be able to play it with electric bands. The sound pressure on stage penetrates the guitar and blows up the "cone tone" and there is feedback before there is working volume. I've installed a McIntyre transducer on the spider and mounted an expensive lavalier microphone through the cover plate. These two installations required the use of a preamp, and those can get quite expensive, but didn't solve the sound pressure issue. I finally placed a lace sensor low profile magnetic pickup under the strings. Now I had volume, but the tone was magnetic, not cone tone. Tom Bradshaw's resonator pedal gives me the closest thing to real cone tone I've ever tried. The real proof was the comments from the band mates and sound man. All positive. My settings are very close to John McClungs (a little less blend). And I have to use nickel strings to balance the string volumes. Because it's a dobro I don't have to change how I play or think to get authentic tone. Cudos to Tom for figuring out the proper filtering to make this happen. |

| right on, tom. this is exactly what i always thought would work. i've got a dobro with a lace sensor and always thought the resonator pedal would be the simplist and cheapest option for getting dobro tone with volume. thanx...now i'm gonna get one! |

For most of us, playing a real resonator is impossible because of the feedback issues. That's where these doro simulators come into play. Chances are that nobody in the audience will notice it isn't an acoustic dobro. I would never try one in the studio though. If they insisted, I would lay down a track and at the same time, I would recommend they hire a real dobro player.
