I think I've done just about everything I can try to make this a better amp for steel guitar use. (i.e. Fromel circuit upgrades, different speakers) and I have found nothing yet that truly improves this particular amp for pedal steel use. Although the upgrades definitely are improvements for this am...

You can get significantly more headroom from your HRD by installing a speaker with a higher sensitivity rating. For example an Eminence Red White and Blues is rated at 101 db. This will give a noticeable boost in headroom over the stock speaker. I'd probably look at some of the neodymiums as well i...

The two primary SCREEN resistors are many times mounted TOO CLOSE to the PC BD and cause surface burns. Removing the PC BD is a real pain as we have to take the entire amp apart . The PC BD itself is very susceptible to heat damage when repairs are required. I know this first hand. Your are correct ...

I appreciate the suggestions for the HR Deville. However, I don't need another amp, as I have at least 10 other amps to chose from, all of which work great for both guitar and steel. What I'm trying to do is see if I can find a way to make the HR Deluxe work good for steel.

Thanks for the info folks. Very helpful. I've had a few upgrades done on this amp, (better quality filter caps, biasing, etc) and it's getting better. But I'm still having a few issues with head room, and my amp tech thinks he might have some cures to help with that a bit too? I'm using a 12AT7 in t...

Anybody have any experience with using a 40 watt Fender Hot Rod Deluxe for pedal steel guitar?

Vintage mid 70's Fender Twin Reverb Amp. All new filter caps installed and biased. This amp has the very rare Orange Back 12" JBL D-120 speakers, and is in great condition. 100 watts. Only reason for selling it is because it's just too heavy for me to handle anymore. Asking $1700.00 plus actual...

Bill. You might want to try watching some of the videos on Youtube from "D-Lab" and "Steve Carr." I found both of these guys very interesting, and useful for repairs and modifications.

We've put together a new website for Jagwire Strings, optimized for phones, tablets, and you can still use your computer too.

Please let us know if you see something we missed in development, or if you have any suggestions to make the site better.

Thanks, Danny

We will be doing a special tribute show in honor of Buddy this Sunday at the United States Steel Guitar Players Association Show.

Buddy was a dear friend of mine, and I cherish the opportunities I had spending time with him and the great memories I will always have. R.I.P my friend, you will be deeply missed by many.

That would be great Jack! We recently held our annual steel guitar show for the United States Steel Guitar Players Association on August 3rd, and we will have our annual Steel Guitar Christmas show here on December 21st. I hope you can make it.

This guitar has been seen and heard just about everywhere around the world, both at live concerts and on TV. I'm surprised that Buck has considered parting with it. Someone is going to get themselves a really great guitar here for sure!

Price reduced. Owner will consider reasonable offers.

Douglas. It was actually sold within less than an hour, which is pretty typical for both Zum and Mullen steel guitars.

Yes it was Roger. Thanks for pointing that out. We truly hope to be able to do that for you too. We're still working at sending Jagwire Strings products as often as we possibly can, but it's been a heluva struggle getting back up on top again, and we're still struggling. This has indeed be a catastr...
