Very sorry to hear this. Rest in peace bOb.

Bryan Thomas in Houston plays a 14 string Sierra.

Thanks Dave, I stand corrected.

I think one of the main differences between the blackface and silver face (both vintage and re-issue) is the blackface has a tube rectifier and the silverface has a solid state rectifier which could account for the tonal differences that Dave mentioned.

I use mine a lot for guitar. I tried it for pedal steel at a gig a few weeks ago and liked it just fine. I ran the bass up all the way and backed off the treble to around 2. ( I play a stage one with the BL 705 re-issue p/u) We were playing with a great PA and stage volume was well in control. I wou...

Randy,

When you get a chance, look at your PMs (not related to this post)
Thanks,
EF

You should have it pretty quick. My wife shipped it yesterday. I'll get you a tracking number and PM it to you this evening.

I will submit a donation to bOb, I need to order some strings anyway.

Hey Randy,
I sent you a PM.

I enjoyed the heck out of that Jeremy, great job.

I would get a second opinion before trashing it. You can see there are a lot of different opinions about PCB tube amps. Find a shop that ain't skeered to work on them.

Slacker!

I like it! Never seen it done that way.

How do you remove the pedal rack JJ?

How I learned Pedal Steel: 1. Purchased Fender 1000 from Heart of Texas Music in Temple Texas in 1971. 2. Instruction. My instruction was from Maxie and Jimmy at Heart of Texas Music. The instruction was "open is an E chord, mash those first two pedals and you get an A chord, don't worry about ...

I sent you a PM Ted.

I have one I am not using. Let me figure out what I want for it and I will get back with you. (I'm at work) I'll also see if I can get you a photo this evening.

I had Susan at Studio Slips make me a custom set of gig bags for my StageOne, one for the body and one for the legs, rods, and pedal rack. They are double padded and the body case has extra handles on the ends and leather wear strip on one side. It was already pretty light to begin with but our rehe...

These pictures bring back memories. I used to have one of these, really well made and good sounding guitar.

I have a BlackStar HT Club 40. It's a 40 Watt combo 2 X EL34, 1 X 12, Closed Back. The clean channel is very clean, but only has one "tone" knob so you can't do much tone shaping whith that. It works well with outboard processors though. It sounds great with my Pod XT and Steel. The other ...

Manual says the volume is controlled by the device that's plugged into it. I pluged my ipod into it and it was scary loud. I always remember to check the volume now.

Thomas,
Try the "Dyna Amp" setting for the amp model. I think it is supposed to be better for picking dynamics.

Congrats on the new guitar Steve.

I'm looking at the possibility of having Studio Slips making a 2 piece padded gig bag for mine.

All this talk about Twins has got me wanting to convert my QuadReverb in to a Twin again (until I decide to convert it back again)

Thanks for showing the Super Beatles Tony.

Tony, I bet that would turn some heads if you showed up at a gig with those two Super Beatles for a steel rig.
