Good working order Nashville 1000 - $350 or best offer Get 300W of Peavey steel tone with a 15" 1501-SB Black Widow speaker in a plywood cabinet. Many consider the 1000 superior to the 400 and perhaps the best to date. Reverb pan had been removed by previous owner, but now has a handwired Molex...

I use a PedalTrain nano board that fits comfortably between my volume pedal and 3 foot pedals. I find I can fit enough effects on there for most things. For headphone practice or to try out some more creative things, I mount an iPad on the back leg of the pedal steel and just go digital. If you need...

In general terms I would say yes, the Princeton is certainly a relative of a Deluxe or Twin. It has a deep and complex clean tone with a mid-scoop that Fender is known for, but you should expect lower clean headroom compared to the others. The RI's are considered by most to have a brighter/harsher h...

As has been inferred, issues with latency are more of a hardware resource issue than a software issue. That said, I have experienced that some software requires more resources for its base operating state than others. I don't have any documentation, but Audacity as a fairly lean software likely does...

An option would be to take the Preamp Out from your Nashville into the DAW. That way you have the EQ and reverb settings you like from your amp. Depending on your preference, you may look at adding a speaker/cab emulation in-the-box along with any other processing.

Travis - Interested to hear the fruits of your labor. It's nice to see more options for pedal steel guitar.

Tim - If you ever do pursue the idea of producing a run of 15" - 8 Ohm speakers voiced for pedal steel, you can put me down for one. I have a feeling we can get another 49 on board pretty quickly, too.

Mark, hard to comment without pics, but it sounds like the steel you're selling is probably a Fender Student S-10. The Artist models I've run across are typically 3-4s.

Joe, I'm interested in buying the bar. I'll shoot you a PM.

Looking for a leg mount solution myself. Any other recommendations or opinions between the Deluxe34 and the QwikStix are appreciated.

Just wanted to chime in regarding the iPad approach. I'm not at the point of gigging yet, but it is very handy for late-night home practice and I am certain it could be very usable as a direct to PA approach. I use an iPad mic stand mount onto the front right leg of the steel which positions the iPa...

I've had the pleasure to own both Student and Artist models. The student version was nice for its simplicity. Although often lumped together with the Sho Bud Maverick, I feel like the mechanism on the Fender is better. I have a thread with photos comparing the two if you search the forum. I ended up...

Anyone have experience with the BBE Soul Vibe? I saw one at the local GC the other day, and the improved graphics got me at least a bit curious about how it sounds.

Patricia,

I wanted to add my name to those who would like a chart. I've sent you a PM with my email earlier. Thank you for the sharing of your work.

I am curious as to what the consensus is on using plastic fingerpicks as the one shown. http://www.jimdunlop.com/images/products/ShellPlasticFingerpicks-5.5.png I would think the consistency of using both plastic thumbpick and fingerpicks would at least have a small following, but everything I've co...

I'd like to believe that one day 3-D printing and CNC technology would make it simple enough for PSG manufacturing to continue for anyone interested.

Nevertheless, there would truly be a loss for the whole PSG community if the collective wisdom of current builders were to vanish.

Haven't used it myself, but if you're looking for a single pedal with reverb and delay, the Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master is another one to consider. You may also want to look further into the TC Hall of Fame and HOF mini. You can edit the effect using their TonePrint Editor on the computer an...

^^^ Cartwright is correct. 9V DC // Center Negative is the typical Boss style effect pedal powering. There are a myraid of products that can provide power, typically geared towards the six-string guitar market. A couple typical products are the Visual Sounds 1-Spot and the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+....

To address your question, the PSG as an instrument won't damage your amplifier or speakers. As with any amplifier and instrument, if you have everything maxed out to 10 and the speakers are very closely matched or underrated for the power the amplifier is producing, you risk taking things to a point...

Could you provide an example (single tab and music file) for those interested to help determine whether it is something they would want to purchase? It seems like something I would like, but I've been let down by poor formatting and quality before.

MIDI Guitar app has a demo mode and is a free download, so you can try it out before you purchase.

I haven't attempted using psg yet, but it does a nice job with a six-string.

Thanks Bob and everyone providing comments to the thread. Having read many threads where others commented that it would be very difficult and/or very expensive to do any modifications to a Fender Student based on the assumption that it used the same mechanism as a Sho-Bud Maverick, I just wanted a t...

As an owner of a Fender Student pedal steel, I've looked into many threads on the forum and am often finding what I believe to be some misinformation regarding the mechanics between these two steels. Although it is recognized that Sho-Bud produced both the Maverick and the Fender Student, it appears...
