Hi all,
Here's a question that may seem a bit left field .Does anyone use an old school treble booster pedal for pedal steel to give a toppy / hairy edge to your sound.

For just a little hair and bite you might try the Sarno Earth Drive. It lives in that "just a little" edge place. I use it to get a more traditional sound on retro country gigs.

Bob,
I'm with you.
The Earth Drive gives some "crispness" to the tone.

this just gave me a idea I have several of the ANALOGMAN'S BEANO BOOST pedals just sitting in a drawer may as well hook one up. I bet it may be over the top but fun to find out.

Hi guys,
As an avid Buddy Cage fan ,when you listen to his sound ,even not when playing his Emmons ,he has a toppy edgy sound ,especially the low notes.I was thinking if you could recreate that edginess with a treble boost at a lower volume than a cranked up JBL Loaded twin. |

A thing to consider about a classic "treble booster" is that what they're really doing is dumping all the bass so you're left with only treble. They are technically a "hi-pass filter". So they don't really make things more trebly, they make things ONLY trebly.
So my suspicion is that a classic treble booster will remove way too much body and tone. I think that a mild overdrive pedal that has a neutral tonality set for just a tiny amount of dirt and with the tone set to bright would get you there more easily.
