| Which pedal? The whammy would shift the pitch of the strings up or down simular to a pedal steel. The pedal I'm getting is the Zoom Zfx C5.1t Console it runs on Cubase LE the pedal is a guitar effects pedal meaning it simulates the amp, cab, and effects pedals. I'll be playing my laps through it into a amp that I can bypass the guitar input jack do to the effect algorithms assume a line connection rather than a amp connection, which is no problem I have a couple of small amps a vox da5 and roland micro cube. Hope this helps to explain what I'm going to be running and what patch I'm looking for. |

Sorry for the confusion of my reply. I was asking which pedal used the VSTs, which you've answered, thank you. The Madshifta VST plug-in does a lo-fi pitch shift.
There's been another thread recently, http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=137450, around electronic pitch shifting for lap steel to emulate a steel. As has been stated there, a pedal steel allows the player to hold the pitch on one or more strings constant while bending the pitch on other strings. Pitch shifting pedals won't do that, but they will shift a single pitch, or in some cases a chord, from 1/2 step up to 2 octaves (or more).
You can, of course, use a combination of a looper pedal to capture a chord, sans the string you wish to raise or lower, to emulate a pedal steel with a lap steel. It's a powerful approach with a lot of potential. Like playing chess, though, you've got to think a few moves ahead!
As suggested in the other thread, you can bend a string behind the bar to emulate a pedal steel pretty convincingly - Junior Brown is amazing with this technique. Also, of course, is the slant approach.
Hope some of this is helpful. Thanks for the info on the Zoom pedal.

| Thanks Larry for the reply, I had started the other thread too, seeking to find a pedal to do the trick, I have a Digitech ex-7 expression pedal and it has a whammy on it but the throw of the sweep is not that wide that is why I'm selling all of my pedals and going with the ZFX that I can program with most of all the pedals I already have and then some. thanks again for the input. |
