The Steel Guitar Forum

I contacted Hudson concerning the model that had wooden legs. Here is an excerpt from the reply:

"That was an experimental excursion that ended up being discarded. I think they were too unstable and unreliable. Those were built and sold by Johnny King. My name is Hardin, owner of HUDSON."

Thanks, Richard!

What builder has started using wooden legs on one of his pedal steel's?

Here's what I have for a rodding chart.

Do any of you who use one of these for steel use the drive control? It seems that if you don't turn the drive up a little then it's not loud enough.

Does anyone have an Owner's Manual for an "IVL Steel Rider"
or knows where to get one? Or a video?

Thanks!

Can anyone suggest a link to an example of a band playing with an ongoing distortion guitar and a pedal steel playing at the same time?

Thanks!

David Neslony

Thanks everyone for the comments!

What I'm up against is a very distorted guitar playing arpeggios when he's not playing fills.

Is there an adjustment or an effect that will cut through the distortion guitar?

Hi Bob Hoffnar,

I'm playing live through a PA, while streaming live online.

The problem is the engineer and it's not me.

Do you have any more ideas?

David Neslony

Does anyone know how to compress the loudness of the steel throughout it's frequency range?

If any notes stand out on the mix, then the loudness of those notes becomes the new steel level in the mix.

I replaced the Barcus Berry Pickup with a George L's E66
pickup. It sounds great.

Hi David W,

I bought the MSA "The Universal" from Tom Johnson who also lives in Arlington. He bought it from a guy that had purchased it from Reece Anderson and had been taking lessons from him. Tom said he had bought it, but never used it.

Where are all of the MSA Catalogs and Flyers?

There should be a catalog somewhere of this info.

I'm specifically searching for pics and info on my
MSA XL (NOT Super Sustain!) "The Universal".

I am looking for information on building a padded arm rest.

What kind of hardware do I need to attach it to the guitar.

What is the correct way to use an adjustable die?

David Neslony

I found and purchased this. It was about $8.00 and works great! I bought it through Amazon. Delivered the next day. Do a search for: Drill America #10-32 1"OD High Speed Steel Round Adjustable Die, DWT Series It was indeed NF. Thanks everyone who helped me. David Neslony -----------------------...

I took a nut from the pedal rod to ACE hardware and they said it was 10-32 NF. But the depth of thread was too fine.

It is a pedal rod to an MSA "The Universal".

Thanks, Jerry!

Where can I find a 10-32 national COARSE thread cutting die?
All I've been able to find are 10-32 FINE thread cutting dies.

Does your pedal rods have the Pedal Rod Number stamped about 1" below the Hook on the rod?? If you are only wanting to shorten the rods 1", That would put the stamped number right in the hook bend, If that number would be in the bend of the new hook, It may make the rod fracture/break whi...
