| On Guy Penrod's 2012 album "Hymns", you played dobro on the track "Down At The Cross". I love the tone. I realize that 95% of the tone comes from your hands, but concerning the remaining 5%, what type of dobro did you use? Finally, do you still use it? |

| Is that a guess? The pedal reso was my first thought as well; however, I'll wait and see what Mr. Franklin has to say. |

| I just listened to the song in question, it is indeed the pedabro he's using. It has a distinct sound that's different than regular dobros'. Plus, some of the licks sounds like he's using pedals to get what he's getting. I miss those days when he was using the pedabro on several recordings. |

| OK Ian and Dean. That explains that unique tone. Thank you for clearing that up for me. |

The Pedabro has to be one of the coolest instruments ever made.
