Here's a recording I did a while back of my poor beginner playing through a Boss GE-7 with the staggered slider trick into the Jerry Douglas Aura both of which I had for other applications. I found later that the GE-7 was more or less superfluous and you do not want to cut the highest band. In fact...

Until you get a piezo pickup installed, the aura pedal will not do what it’s supposed to do. The aura imaging has to have a piezo signal, not a magnetic pickup. Hi Chance yes I know this very well but in the PSG you can't have a piezo electric so to help this endicap try to use the aura pedal toget...

From my review of the Telonics amp: https://www.gregcutshaw.com/Telonics%20Amp/16.mp3 Full review here: https://www.gregcutshaw.com/Telonics%20Amp/Telonics%20Amp.html Hi Greg, thank you for publishing the audio file where we finally hear this telonics sound, I'll tell you my immediate impression si...

Dear Francesco - It doesn't get much better than Telonics for a clean yet powerful signal. The TBro does sound like a dobro, the value of the TBro is mainly that its already built into the amp. There are other ways of getting decent resonator sounds, but you always have to carry around another stom...

This is my configuration and I must say that I have a good sound (PSG/ black box Sarno/Aura Fishman Jerry Douglas/ / Volume pedal/ Wet Reverb/ Direct Box Radial J48 active/ PA Mixer where the sound technician gives me a nice sound. Francesco

No I don't have one made and I have no good way of making one. All I can say is the Telonics TCA 500 amp has a switch that when engaged it tweaks the EQ to sound like a Dobro. I seldom use this feature because I have a Jerry Douglas model Dobro if I want that sound for a song. I can't say that the ...

Not sure what you mean by slide bar? It's a switch that alters the EQ and it does sound great. I have the TCA 500 with a 15 inch speaker. 500 watts. Super clean. Hi Larry do you have a video clip where you show how your telonics 500 TBRO sounds in PSG? Why do you talk about it but there is no demon...

Hi do you have a video clip where I can hear it in action? Also to hear how TBRO works on PSG? Thanks a lot Francesco

@Thomas Cepek Tried to get in touch per mail with "kickin´steel" to buy a "DBS7" unit, but they didn´t answere I contacted them for you and I received a reply from Stew indicating that they were already in contact with you. You should be all set now. For anyone else the email ad...

Feel the real sound of the pedabro, this is the sound I would like to get but I don't think there will ever be a pedal that simulates this sound. Happy listening Francesco

I agree with you. None are perfect. Food for thought, have you tried a wooden bar? It really dulls the tone to more closely approximates a banjo like tone. No, I've never tried a wooden bar, I think I'll continue to use my Aura JD, I'll try to combine it with another pedal that simulates the render...

Hi Larry of course I know what a T-Bro is but I'm looking for an innovative pedal that can simulate the sound of the pedabro, the ones on...

The key when using any Dobro simulator is to "think" Dobro and play Dobro licks. IF not nothing will sound convincing. Hi Jack yes obviously I've been playing the dobro for years and I know very well how I should play the PSG with a possible simulator, I have the Jerry Douglas Aura Fishma...

I've had several of the dobro/pedabro simulators for the steel guitar and the best I've tried so far is the T-Bro on the Telonics TCA 500 amp. Hello Trap I see that the T-Bro is nothing more than a slide bar, I'm looking for an effect pedal to simulate the sound of the pedabro, but apparently there...

Hi guys, in the meantime, have any of you found out if there is a joining system using pedals, or a single pedal that can simulate the sound of a PEDABRO? The temptation is always to have an original pedabro on the stage for live performances, but you know that most of the time it doesn't have the s...

Hi steelere, I was researching this DIGITECH IPS33B machine, I see it in Franklin's rack and it uses it in channel 112, but investigating here and I found out that in each channel you can store and set any other program of what would be factory set in cabal 112 as you will see in the photo I will po...

I have a Digitech IPS-33B in my rack. Great for adding a little more to the ride. I use it for harmony, tremelo, octave up or down and a few other cool things. Digitech discontinued the 33B and came out with a "better" one, but I didn't like it nearly as well. You can find them used from ...

George; Reverb is one of the effects I always put after the pedal. I believe reverb should be allowed to breathe. Obviously, the reverb effect is defeated by turning off the pedal. It removes the effect that you're using it for in the first place, the natural room echo. The only time I have ever pu...

Hi Paddy, thank you for writing to me, that Slim pick up is an 805 it's not a 705, I'm looking for a chrome 705. Thanks a lot Francesco

Roy, The Christmas album is the same Mesa/Mosvalve rig...It was recorded digitally using Tascam DA88's. When I mixed it at home I accidentally mixed it out of phase...When it was mastered they flipped it back into phase which gave the CD an overall different tone. How music is recorded kind of matt...

This question keeps coming up on how to get a sound like a particular steel player. Some believe it is in the hands and that regardless of the steel or equipment, they would still sound the same. I think the truth is somewhere between the equipment and the hands. About the only way that I would kno...

To answer a few questions, Those Peavey speakers were loaded with Black Widow speakers. Never used Celestion speakers although they sound great... I am amused by how players try to define my 90's sound as being separate from my tone today... Today can get whatever tone I desire. During those direct...

Hello Mike, I ask you for information, what is the difference between this speaker and the one currently mounted on the Fender 15 custom amp? To see them they look like the same speaker. Thanks a lot Francesco

Hi Dennis, what is the difference between these EV speakers and the Peavey 1501-4? Thanks a lot Francis
