Thank you both! I tried loosing the jack & tightening it back up, and it completely fixed the issue.

I bought a Stage One in 2019. It's a beautiful textured black guitar and I've enjoyed playing & learning on it. I had my first ever live gig on this thing last month and it was a major confidence booster, I'm excited to keep gigging! Lately, I've noticed a bad hum coming through my signal chain....

I replaced by Quilter Tone Block (200 watts) with the Cub a couple months ago, and I couldn't be happier. Works really well for both my tele and my psg. The three different inputs are fantastic, you can really get a variety of tone just from those. Reverb isn't amazing, but I'm using a pedal for rev...

Thanks guys! I tuned the changers with the rods loose, and then I was able to get both the raise and the lower in tune. So much better. I still have to jam the C pedal down further than I'd like, any ideas on how make the E->F# raise a little quicker?

Hello all - I got an Emmons gs-10 (student model 3x1) almost a year ago. It's a lovely guitar with a great sound, but it needs a little help. The C lever (Raise B->C#, E->F#) binds against the E->Eb knee lever. I've found 2 options: 1. Tune C pedal well, and get no function from knee lever, or 2. Lo...

Emmons setup?

Is this already sold?

still available?

I have one. I've put a bit of work into it to get the knee lever working again but I'm looking to sell it in the next little bit. email me.

Jon & Marco -

Thanks so much. Downloaded them from the link. Thanks!

Hey all - I'm wondering if anyone has found or uploaded digital tracks from the "Pedal Steel Guitar" book by Winnie Winston and Bill Keith. I've got the CD, but my laptop doesn't have a cd player, and I'd love to play them on my computer if possible. Are they on youtube, or available for d...

Chuck - How do you like the Fender for PSG? I play a lot of bass and I love those new rumbles. So lightweight without compromising too much tone. I'd love an amp I could use for both, if possible.

@Tim & Alex - I'm seriously considering getting the quilter mini. I played around with an Aviator a little and was really impressed. Do either of you ever add a light overdrive or fuzz to your playing? How has the Quilter responded? Also, what is a good, reliable economic 1X15 cab you would reco...

Hey guys sorry for the late followup. I figured it out, had to adjust the rod a little bit. Thanks for the advice!

Does anybody know any players in Utah? I'm new to psg and I'd love to get in touch with anyone who could give a lesson or two in person. I'm getting pretty far with Youtube University and books, but I'd really love to meet some other players. Any help? Thanks!

Hey all - I'm new to the psg game and loving it. I've got an Emmons gs 10. I've noticed that the 4th string (E) isn't lowering when I engage the right (and only) knee lever. The low E does lower, but not the high E. Looking at the undercarriage, I can see the rod moving but pitch doesn't change at a...

Will - I'm in the same boat as you. I was saving up for a Stage one but found an Emmons student 3x1 for the right price. I'm loving it, and I've definitely got a lot more learning to do until I've outgrown it, but I'm still planning on getting the stage one eventually. I'm curious what you're findin...
