I am new to this forum.
I am looking for input on what I can use to make my pedal steel guitar sound like a fiddle, saxophone, organ, piano, etc. Currently I have a Roland GR20 but it is made for an electric guitar 6 string. I would like a box that does not set on the floor. The Roland GR20 pickup does not adjust to the strings on my steel guitar. Thanks for any response.

There was a unit made about 30 years ago. Its been out of out of production for years.

Best option I know of is the Roland that you have. I know of one steeler, with an SD10 Sho Bud that has one. I don't know which strings he uses.

I have a boss sy-1. It is a box that sets on the floor but it tracks the steel great. I had a roland unit years ago with the pickup for electric guitar. The boss sy-1 is much easier to use. The sy-1 is fun to play with on steel but I usually go back to just using reverb or delay.

Check out some of the Electro Harmonix pedals. B9, C9, Mel9 etc. Might not be what you’re going for but they definitely alter the tone in a big way without needing midi pickups.
