It will turn on, but no sound will come out. I have to turn the pre gain knob all the way up, and then sound comes out. I can turn t...

I have a quick question about how pitch lowers work for this pedal steel. I can see that when a string is raised, the rod is pulled back and the nylon nut attached to the rod pushes the finger in, raising the pitch of the string. How do lowers work? The rod is pushed the opposite direction but there...

RKL not working

Not sure what I did to cause this, but my RKL is not working correctly. I noticed that RKL (which is supposed to raise both strings 1 and 7 to G) was only raising string 7. The rod attached to string 1 is engaging, but it doesnt have enough pull to engage the finger of the changer. I tried tightenin...

I'm a week in and making some progress

Getting a little better every day. In my last post some people mentioned working on keeping my foot over the a and b pedals instead of moving it around so much so I tried to work on that. Gave this song by uncle tupelo a shot. Lloyd Maines is the steel player so I figured I'd get back to my hometown...

My pick blocking isn't too great yet, but it doesnt sound half bad. Here is a video of me playing the licks. Critiques welcome (and wanted...

It's roughly in the same ballpark as the Stage One, although a bit more expensive. You could, if willing to wait, order a new Stage One, and save enough to pay for the volume pedal. The GFI Student model isn't widely loved, but it is perfectly suitable, so long as you the 4 knee version. Alright. T...
