Barry Sless. Copedent?

Does anyone know what 12 string copedent Barry Sless is using with the Wolf Brothers? Any information about his pedal board and rig would be greatly appreciated too. I recently stumbled across videos of him playing on YouTube. Such a great player.

Thanks

Billy Cooper would be the best bet. If you can't make it there. After a few views of this video you should be able to learn enough about the mechanics to make any minor changes yourself.

Another consideration should be the finish. A more durable formica covered guitar would be better suited for a rental situation rather than a pretty custom wood stained finish. Accidental bar drops will eventually happen in a backline situation. A simple drop of the tone bar could leave a nasty dent...

I have a boss sy-1. It is a box that sets on the floor but it tracks the steel great. I had a roland unit years ago with the pickup for electric guitar. The boss sy-1 is much easier to use. The sy-1 is fun to play with on steel but I usually go back to just using reverb or delay.

A few years back I was practicing barefoot. I started experiencing pain in my left foot from the pedals. I started practicing wearing bedroom slippers and the pain went away.

Thanks everyone for the help and advice. I've realized that my cross shaft on pedal 4 was slipping on pedal 4. I think I have fixed that problem by installing a shim.

Are all guitars capable of the Franklin pedal?

I've been trying to add the Franklin change (10,6,5 full step lower) on pedal 4 to my double neck Dekley. It has a triple raise, double lower changer and 4 hole bell cranks. I've been trying different bell crank and changer combinations but I can't get the full step lower. I'm just wondering if anyo...
