Are all of the wah-wah type sounds on Jerry Byrd's "Blue Hawaiian Steel Guitar" done with the tone control, or did he ever use an actual effects pedal?
Thanks,

To my knowledge, he always used the tone control. He may have used a Vol/tone pedal on occassion, but I am not even sure that is true. But I do believe that most (if not all) was using the tone control on the guitar. And what an absolute master he was with it. Some of it is mind boggling to see and listen to him use it.
Jack, if you are reading this, could you ask Jerry and let us know?

CCJ is correct. Jerry's volume control (which is wired reverse to "normal") is a volume control only. What he does, he does with his hand.  |

Blue Hawaii is great gentlemen, but Jerry's Steelin' the Blues with (I think) Rex Allen Sr (thanks Al for the update) on vocals is just plain scary! Jerry gets both a wah guitar effect & then a muted trumpet effect on this song. He then proceeds to lay down maybe the best single-note blues lines I've ever heard on steel guitar too...
