Hey Lee,

I have a Cat-Bro that I am selling, and I just finished rewiring it.

I rewired the Cat-Bro, and installed a second output jack mounted on a bracket underneath next to the orginal.

The electronics are wired as such -

1) Standard wiring for a D-10, with a 3 position neck selector switch.

2) The output of the neck switch is fed into the Cat Bro electronics, and returned thru a 2 way switch , and then to the 2nd output jack. The switch acts as a signal interrupt.

3) When hooking up the Cat-Bro, the primary output jack is used with a cord from the jack, to your volume pedal, and into the amp, a common setup.

4) To use the Cat-Bro feature, hook a cord from the secondary output into the second channel of a 2 channel amp, or into a seperate amp if desired.

5) Turn the switch between the necks to ON, and the Cat-Bro signal is active. You can now mix the signal with the amp settings, and use your volume pedal to blend in the desired mix of the straight in signal, with the Cat-Bro effect signal. That's it!

The rear neck can be set up any way you like, this one is set-up with a C6th Lite -

The rear neck can be set-up any way you like though, with 3 pedals and 2 knees available.

I am considering a unique G tuning with the GBDGBD dobro tuning sandwiched in between the top 2 and bottom 2 strings. I tuned it to this open tuning to try the Cat-Bro effect, and I was able to get some pretty nice dobro sounds. I think the key is playing dobro style licks.

I do believe using the pedals to add some come E9th bends to the G Tuning could be beneficial in achieving some nice textural sound within the G dobro tuning...

My take on a Cat-Bro... Smile

Thanks Mike. I have a D-10 and don't play C6 and played dobro for about 20 years before pedal steel. I did the same thing on my back neck, went to a G tuning as you did. Still a work in progress and open to ideas.

Best,

Lee Rider

Do you use standard stainless or Nickel wound strings, or Phosphor Bronze like on a real Dobro ??
