The Steel Guitar Forum

The small Roland Cubes sound good... I like my stereo Mobile Cube but it's not cheap ($160). Very portable, battery powered, mic stand adapter. On our local Craigslist you can usually find a Cube of some kind going for around $100. Thanks for the suggestion. Seems there's several Roland Cube's in d...

I used the DR-880 for a few years before I went to EZDrummer. The DR-880 had far better sounds than EZDrummer, much tighter bass and overall better compression of the all the sounds yet it still sounded like a drum set. EZDrummer is of course a lot easier to program. I spent a lot of time developin...

Hey Billy, you didn't have to thank me twice :wink: In the near future, Ron's going to bring his Boss DR-880 over and we're going to set up a couple tracks to play the Sierra along with. Another cool thing about the DR-880 is it has an input for guitar along with amp and cab sims and guitar FX. I'd ...

A guitar buddy uses the Boss DR-880 in his studio. He demonstrated it to me and this thing is outstanding. The best drums and bass I've heard from a digital source. Sounds very real and is versatile.

Anyone using the DR-880?

An AKG C1000s mic aimed between the cover plate and the sound holes and 8"/10" off the top always sounded great when my dad played his squareneck through a amp or PA.

I forgot to mention this in my first post. As good as the NV 112 works with the GT-10, with the Tele on it's own it's not to good. It's very sterile sounding. For the Tele, I still prefer the Princeton Reverb.

I just bought a Nashville 112 for lap steel, but tried my Tele through the Boss GT-10 and into the NV 112. It sounds pretty darn good.

Just Beautiful! I'm surprised it hasn't sold. I've listened to Mike Neer's Clinesmith lap steel and it sounds wonderful.

What does the Clinesmith sell for new?

I went ahead and bought the Nashville 112. It looks like it's brand spank'n new. The $300 price was to good to turn down. Besides, it sounds fantastic with the Sierra S8. My settings right now are: pre gain 4, low 0, mid -7, shift 700, high -3, presence 4, reverb 2 and master gain 3. Sounds good, bu...

Mike, thanks for the link for the manual. Big help!

I,m still curious what others have their NV 112 settings at.

I showed this thread to my wife and said, "see, I'm not bad at all". She says, "And don't get any ideas". I just can't win.

Beautiful collections and thanks for sharing.

I have a used Nashville 112 on loan from a local music store. I've been playing around with the 112's settings, trying to dial in the tone with my Sierra S8. I'm getting close and thought I'd ask other Nashville 112 owners what your settings are for lap steel. Any tips you'd want to share would be g...

I'm considering buying a Peavey Nashville 112. I'm using a Fender Princeton Reverb Reissue right now with a Sierra S8 lap steel and it sounds good. That said, I also use a Boss eBand that I run through my Bose Companion 3 computer speakers. I've set up a patch on the Boss eBand that sounds excellent...

James, I can't thank you and John Ely enough. That's exactly what I was looking for.

I've been searching the internet, but haven't found anything yet. Does anyone have scales for lap steel in C6?

Thanks, Doug

Thanks for all your input. The people on this forum are extremely helpful. I think "Tone Sucking" really got my attention and I maid it into more than it is. This really doesn't make any sense since so many people use and love the the Goodrich. Since I do most of my playing sitting, should...

Ok! Now I'm really confused. I've been reading post/reviews here in the forum history. I'm reading about "Tone Sucking" of the passive volume pedals like the Goodrich. Then I read others saying they like the Goodrich passive pedals because of the tone. On the other hand I read how transpa...

I think the Goodrich pedal (120) is real nice, but the one I have needed a replacement pot not long after I bought it, which put it on my sh*t list. I did eventually replace the pot with one from Tom Bradshaw and it is very reliable and quiet now. I don't know if Goodrich ever straightened that iss...

I'm using a Sierra S8 through a Fender Princeton Reverb, but I'm considering a Nashville 112. Which volume pedal do you recommend?

Doug Beaumier wrote:I have the same lap steel and I love it! It's very well made... hard maple body, strings through body, brass nut, bridge, and string retainer, GeorgeL 10-1 pickup. This is a great buy IMO.

Doug, I know you had a Sierra S8. How does this guitar compare to the Sierra in sound?

I am sorry about posting this so late, but I have a S-8 Sierra with a Jerry Wallace TrueTone pickup and it has a very good tone and sounds very Hawaiian. The video of the pedal steel playing with the TrueTone pickup is not a good representation of the sound of the Truetone on the Sierra. Do you hav...

I know the following videos are pedal steel vrs lap steel, but you can hear the difference between the George L and the Wallace True Tone. The first video is the Wallace and the second is the George L. I think I've got this right from what it says at the bottom of the first video about the "#3&...

I'm convinced I need either one on one instruction or good instructional material to learn how to play backup. I've tried figuring it out on my own with recordings, but I'm not getting anywhere. I'm sure the best would be one on one with a good teacher, but so far I haven't been able to find anyone ...

I've been experimenting more with the eBand and have set up and saved a couple more user effect patches using different amps, speaker cabinets and effects. One I put together is a little hotter for some grit. The other is a warmer tone using a hall reverb. If you understand EQ and Effects, it's real...
