Hi guys,

Hope you are all well.

when I hit the b pedal on my Carter the 6th string is going out of tune.

Any ideas on what could be happening?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ben

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know where I could get some pedal steal seat brackets from? I have a seat already but want to put a back rest on it. I just need to find some brackets that will allow it to fold down.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I don't use any delay at all. The reverb tank in the old SF twin reverb is enough. Such an awesome sound IMHO.

Hi Dan,

your not the only one. I thought I had fixed the issue but it is not working.

I have sent an enquiry through to cleartune support to try and sort the issue out.

Will let you know when I have some answers.

Thanks Lane.

For the iPhone users, to disable your microphone through clear tune

Go to settings/privacy/microphone/clear tune app, turn the microphone off.

This will allow the signal only to be picked up through the relevant adapter e.g. Irig or Peterson adapter.

Hope this is helpful.

Ben Morine

Guys disregard my post.

I disabled the microphone after obtaining the know how from bitcount.com


Thanks

Ben

Hi Guys,

I have been using cleartune for a while now and it is great although when tuning on stage the app is picking up the stage noise even though my guitar is connected to my iPhone via an irig.

Is there any way to avoid this?


Thanks in advance.

Ben

http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/14928_New_Pedal_Steel_4.jpg Thanks for all your input guys much appreciated. I have got myself a new used guitar. It is a carter S10 3X5. It actually turned out the guys lived 20 minutes away from my house, which was awesome! The guy I bought it off had no...

Hi There Gents! So I have been looking around at different PSG's to try and make a decision which one to upgrade to. Obviously in Australia we don't have a lot of choice as PSG's don't come up for sale very often. I have people tell me in the past that I should always buy a newer guitar as the vinta...

Only being a newbie to the pedal steel world, this man was indeed the BEST.

Without Gifts from God like Buddy Emmons, the world would be such an ordinary place.

RIP Steel King

Wow that's a nice guitar Mickey!

Whoever receives this is one lucky person!


Such great generosity.

Hi Guys, I literally cannot stop thinking about PSG. I have been learning for nearly 12 months and I am absolutely loving this. I can hardly concentrate at work I keep imagining getting home from work and heading straight to the music room to practice. I am constantly on the hunt for new practice ti...

Many thanks to all that replied to my post. I have now solved the problem. I was using the Jeff Newman system, with a Korg Chromatic tuner and it just did not sound right according to my ears. Many thanks to Jim Priebe for sending me the tempered settings for the GFI guitars. It worked fantastically...

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply.

Ok well looks like I may have to shorten the legs on the old seat!

Thanks again.

Ben Morine

Hi Henry,

Thanks for your email.

No, the GFI Student Model guitar does not come with adjustable legs.

Thanks

Ben Morine

Hi Richard, Thanks for your reply.

I was thinking of only the back legs that way I don't have to extend the pedal rods.


Thanks

Ben Morine

Yeah I saw that one go. $970 is quite a lot. If only Pedal Steels would show up in Australia! any used steel guitar in OZ you are looking at 3000 bucks and upwards for a pro model. I have seen the Car Starters here go for between 1000 - 1500 which works out about the same sort of money if converted ...

Hi there folks, I have recently acquired an old pack a seat from a good friend of mind however the seat is too tall for the pedal steel. My question is are all legs on the pedal steel guitars universal? I was thinking of buying some extendable legs for my GFI Student model to lift it up a bit so I c...

Wow thanks everyone for the feedback and ideas. I gave the incorrect information in my first post it was actually the LKL with the A pedal that was giving me the trouble. Still trying to get my head around tuning it properly. More of an inexperienced operator problem then a mechanical problem. Thank...

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your reply.

The 6th string is plain. I will give the wound string a try.

Thanks

Ben Morine

Hi Lane,

Thanks for your reply, I am using a normal chromatic tuner using the Jeff Newman method.

Thanks for the information I will give it a go.

Cheers

Ben

Hi there folks, I am a newbie to the Pedal Steel. I have played 6 string for 20 years and I am finding the transition pretty good. The problem is I bought a GFI Student Model New through a music shop in Sydney, whilst I thought this guitar is great, I am having trouble with the tuning. I have follow...
