Here’s a video of my band, with excellent audio: the venue made a multitrack recording, so I was able to mix it properly.

I’m really happy to share this and hear what people in the pedal steel community think of it. We played a lot this summer and fall, and this was our last outing, just a few weeks ago, so the band is about as cohesive as it can be. I’ve been on a mission to bring the pedal steel to new audiences, and so far the response as been wonderful.

Hey Alex,

Very tasteful ensemble playing, nice work. One of the many wonderful things this instrument can do is set a mood, and I think you're doing that well. Glad to hear the audiences are appreciating it too.

Alex, I liked the cut. The steel sounds awesome and the band is tight! Nice to expand the steel out from the "country " mindset.

Thank you both for the positive feedback!

Here's another piece from the same concert, one that really exemplifies what we're doing as a group, where a couple of simple ideas are turned into a whole improvised journey. It's different every time we play it, yet we always stick the landing somehow! This one is titled "Culture Vulture"

Alex, I left a comment on your YouTube page but MAN, that other song "Culture Vulture" is fantastic. It's a tribute to the fact that steel guitar isn't "old country" only. You do a fantastic job on it and it showcases the bass and drummer's abilities too. I want more to listen to!! Let me know where I can get CD's or downloads. what was the additional unit you had next to the steel? was it an extra sound module or synth? I can't get over the sound you were getting from the steel.

Great Job!!

Richard, here is the link to purchase our full length album on Bandcamp:

https://cattaneo.bandcamp.com/album/releveler

As far as the sound itself, I guess the main ingredient is stereo delays and reverbs. I have a small pedalboard on a custom-made stand so that I can tweak, adjust, loop while I’m playing.

The Line6 DL4 MKii, which I use for both delays and reverbs, splits to a Quilter mini 101 reverb and a Quilter UK Superblock into a 12” cab fitted with an EPS-12C.

The other thing is that we don’t play loud. We play close to one another and hardly use any monitoring on stage.
