What ever you're experiencing moving to a wound 6th string may not make any difference. On my Stage One I use 0.11 plain on the 3rd and 0.20 plain on the 6th. It works fine.

This reads like a prank to play on your steeler buddies

I assume you're aware of the the Strobostomp HD's ability to change the tuning when you hold the footswitch and tap the strings? Also, you can color code the different tunings. These things make the need for separate tunings a bit less painful.

I look forward to hearing it. What is the advantage of using rollers on a non-pedal steel? Hi Bill, the roles are already the preparation for palm benders, unless I think there are better sustains, best regards The other advantage is the ability to slide into and out of the zero fret. More non-peda...

Thanks for the ideas! I tried replacing the tuning nuts since that is pretty simple. It didn't help. Then I noticed the bell-cranks were angled more towards the changer that I remembered positioning them (this whole thing started because I had to swap out a broken bell- crank). I re-positioned them ...

I have a problem on my all-pull guitar with the A pedal. If I back off the tuning nuts for the 5th and 10th strings and then tune the A pedal for the 5th string it works fine - it stays in tune. But when I attempt to tune the 10th string A pedal the C# on the 5th string goes flat and keeps drifting ...

Couple questions..... I have the Stroboplus HD. It is a great pedal that I just couldn’t live without for PSG! Considering “upgrading” to this new one. I like that it has 9V power. As a pedalboard user, this provides seamless integration with my setup. Right now, I use the Stroboplus HD and m...

I just got mine! What sweetened settings would one recommend for: E9 Pedal Steel 10 String -SE9, SP9 C6 6 String Lap /ConsoleSteel -LC6 Telecaster 6 string standard tuning -GTR Acoustic Guild 6 string -ACU My guesses are to the right of each one, mostly thinking there might be a couple competing E9...

Interesting thread. Thanks for sharing David. I loaded your reverbs. Very nice!

For others trying this, SIR1 would not work for me on Windows 10 64-bit. Cantibile would not load it. However SIR3 worked. SIR3 requires a paid license.

Have not tried but keen to! The current StroboPlus HD is good but not giggable IMHO due to its flimsiness. Also, they seem to have fixed the display so it's viewable from any angle - no more "is that an A or B note?".

It's just shorthand. The b7 is the most famous 7 chord so we just say "7" and everyone knows what we mean, the same as when we refer to Elvis Presley we can just say "Elvis" and everyone knows who we mean. I get that it's shorthand. I'm just curious what the proper/correct name ...

So why is the chord called “G7” when the “F” note is really a b7 in the key of G? Wouldn’t you call that a “Gb7” chord? It's just shorthand. The b7 is the most famous 7 chord so we just say "7" and everyone knows what we mean, the same as when we refer to Elvis Presley we ca...

I like Hoffmeyers - Custom preferred as the wider band offers a bit more stability but Standard is also good.

I like them because the band is right, the thickness is right and the finish is great - very well polished!

It's interesting that the jacks are in reverse order to "normal". I guess because that's how they are on the model with the jacks at the front? I suppose it's no big deal. Though I don't think I like the power right at the front. But then again, I don't like to have to power a volume pedal...

Always interesting to hear what Shane is up it. Have seen him a few times in different projects. Unfortunately I didn't see this show.

Another nice simple one is E9th 4th fret 7, 6, 5A

How does everyone like the test drive videos? Right hand video? What is Paul actually doing? What I learned from the right hand video is "pick blocking" would be better named "finger blocking" because although a lot of blocking is with the pick, a fair bit is with the fingernail...

I didn't get mine from a steel vendor, just from a generic seller on ebay. Yes, they have a flat milled section on the shaft. I screwed the set screw directly onto this flat section which seemed to work but a completely round shaft would be better. The answer to wiring those studs is "with diff...

I have been happy with the RODE i-XY mic.

Thanks for posting. Really enjoyed it!

I like this one.

Em7 (G and D) to A (A and C#)

Thanks guys, I mean a "feel" stop. The steel is a Sho Bud Pro I with a completely replaced undercarriage. It is somewhat like the diagrams in "fig 2" from http://www.pedalsteelguitar.fr/materiel/halfstop/halfstop.html but it is not 2a (no extra hex nut on 9th finger), 2b (no grub...

Hi, I have a half-stop on my 2nd string that seems to work by the end of the 9th string nylon hex nut hitting the 9th string changer finger before it engages the finger. The half-stop is sharp. I think I have to adjust the 9th string hex nut so the end is closer to the changer finger. I have no clue...
