Dear Fender Steelers

thanks for any input and it helped me a lot. After intensive study of the manuals I have slowly understood...my fender 800 is in tune like never before. It's fun to play. I love the sound. Thanks again and I hope I can help someone with my tips someday! The Steelfamily is great!

Fender 800 Tuningproblems

I have once again set up my old Fender 800. I think the sound is unique! Where I have a big problem, I can not bring the pedals enough in tune. Too little way with the screwdriver!

Sorry Donny, if I don't quite agree. I think if you already have reverb and delay separated, I would suggest. Steel- Delay-Volume Pedal-Reverb-Amp. The quality and handling of the delay before the volume pedal is very audible! I wish a happy day! :D

Reece had no feeling left in the fingers of his right hand after a serious car accident. He always glued his picks to his fingers with a glue. And I could never believe why you can play with such feeling when you can't feel the strings.... Reece was just not from that world!
