The Steel Guitar Forum

Great to see the stars as well as some new talent coming in. The future of the instrument depends on it.

Thanks Jon!

Hi,

I just got a Tech21 Blonde pedal and would love fellow owners to share their favorite settings.

Also, in terms of hook up, I'm Guitar--->Volume Pedal--->Blonde--->DM2 Delay--->WET reverb--->Aphex Xciter--->Tech21 Power Power Engine 60 (a powered speaker)

Look ok?

Thanks

Very good teaching method and high production quality. I just picked this one up.. Please keep lessons coming...I hope you continue to focus on the theory of pedal steel and how to apply it to real life playing vs. just learning tab songs.

Thanks Jim, I'll give you a call tomorrow.

That's even better, just point me to your site or how to buy...Peterson site has them on backorder until April, that's why I'm inquiring.

Thanks!

Looking for StroboPlus HD Pitch Holder Assembly...would be interested in the tuner as well if in perfect working condition.

Hi,

I saw this ad: http://freddysbar.com/events/blue-steel ... 016-02-16/

and was curious if anyone ever saw these guys or know the steel player?

Sarno has the brackets $6 ea

Thanks Dan, pleasure speaking with you...I'm excited for my new Steeler's Choice seat!

Thanks everyone, these are all good points about why it makes sense to have the sidecar on the left side. Not to open another debate, but I'm wondering if I need the sidecar since it just makes for a bigger thing to have to lug around. However it does seem the ideal place to park picks, slides, stri...

Thinking of getting a steel seat with a side car...I noticed most (all) of the time, the sidecar is on the left-hand side. I'm right-handed, and it would seem more logical to have the sidecar on right-hand side in terms of access. Does it matter what side it is on? Am I missing something?

Good to hear all the positive feedback around the Stage One, I'm very excited for mine to arrive..ordered about a month ago..looking at delivery sometime in January hopefully. Wood grain top, black front/back.

Wow, I missed some good stuff on the forum while I was away, Rick's recording of Pork Pie hat being one of them. Rick this is really fantastic!. Your tone, feel, choice of notes and harmony are terrific. When your vocal comes in, it is truly haunting and right in the Mingus/Miles vein. I'm sure Min...

I’m late to the party, as I have been away from my high speed connection for the last week, but I want to say Happy New Year to you Jeff! This is a great work and I am very happy you decided to record it for us all to enjoy. All the best in 2004!

David,

The V-SAM does not have a pass-through because it has a built-in tone generator. I was told the decision not to include a pass-through was so that the tone could not accidentally get blasted through your amp or the PA.

Thanks everyone for your input. I would love to check out one of those mysterious Jr.’s sometime. Is it a stomp box size item? How would it compare to a Rotosphere? I did a search on Google and on Ebay and nothing came up, so I would imagine it is a very rare item. <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b&q...

Does anyone know how Curly Chalker created the organ sound used on Wolverton Mountain from the Counterpoint album? If you are unfamiliar with the cut or would like a refresher, here is a sample: Wolverton Mountain sample MP3 Would an HK Rotosphere be able to convincingly recreate this sound? Thanks ...

Tonight is the grand opening of the new Guitar Center on 14th Street. 30,000 square feet of musical goodness. My experience visiting these stores around the country is that they get mad at you if you DON'T play their guitars. Also, each store has a nice vintage collection. See: http://www.guitarcent...

Hi Wayne,

You will have to make them into WAV files before burning to CD.

Bob, My thanks to you and everyone at the PSGA for such a great show. The programming of the show was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Regarding Randy Beavers, if it wasn't for the video screen, I would have never guessed he was playing all of that rich harmony on E9. He is a true virtuoso ...

Hey Jeff,

You and your band sounded great!

Thanks to everyone at the PSGA for an absolutely outstanding show.

Hi Everyone, I want to thank you all for your posts, which are very helpful. I have come to realize that I am missing a few pieces, one big one being a pre-amp of some kind to get the signal up. Graham, thanks for posting the examples. I am very familiar with your site and have used it many times, a...

HI Ron, I remember someone asked the question about the thru-jack either on this forum or the Peterson forum, and I think the answer was that because the V-SAM has a tone generator, they did not want to offer the thru jack to avoid any accidental blasting of the tone through a PA, amp, etc. --------...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has the experience of burning CD's from LP's while keeping the fidelity high. I have some Curly Chalker LP's that I wish I could just buy on CD, however they are not available. I need some assistance in the LP to CD dept. Thanks in advance. Sam ------------------ www.sa...
