The Steel Guitar Forum

Does anyone know if a prototype will be available for try out at the Dallas show?

I'm in the midst of redoing my electronics, and a friend drew this schematic based on the pencil drawing. I figured I'd post it to this thread since it's been a pretty handy reference on wiring up the Emmons.

Totally untrue.

The only time I use mine with a computer is when I record. All controls are available from the front panel.

Sorry. Amp sold locally. Please close.

I'll give you a call this afternoon.

I know, why buy one used when they're so cheap to begin with? I've been using this one on stage for about 6 months now, and it's been problem-free and works fine. I don't particularly care for it, and I know a lot of other steel players do, so here goes: MB200, played, working fine, power cable incl...

Oh yeah. The 11R *shines* as a recording interface. I did my recording via USB doing a wet and a dry channel. As a track-at-home solution, it is SUPER easy to put an mp3 track against the two recording channels and record excellent *repeatable* sounds at home or on the road. I recorded one of the tr...

I agree entirely with all that. I personally don't mind the effect that a pot pedal has on the instrument, and wanted to keep that. That Tech21 product is a good tip! I am totally dissatisfied with the MB200 as a steel amp. I hear lots of people talk about how good it sounds, but it does not sound g...

I actually go guitar to volume pedal to input. The automatic impedance matching isn't a super sophisticated feature; it just dials the setting into the appropriate match for the simulated hardware configuration, so it equivalent for me either way. I don't run any effects before the volume pedal. If ...

I've switched to an Eleven Rack for my normal stage rig. I find the benefits of a direct line out to front-of-house, and a consistent sound room by room, plus a 12 lb weight to justify a move from a real amp to a simulator. I was never particularly impressed with any of the POD products, but the Ele...

I'm selling the black widow speaker out of my Nashville 400. I looked, and I don't see any identifying markings on it to tell me which black widow it is. It's a black-cornered Nashville 400, serial #00-05590338, if that helps.

$100 + shipping at cost.

Thanks for the bump. Tough days for selling amps!

Hey Bob, you sounded great when I saw you with Christy Hays at the G&S Lounge. Word up to the music "industry" not existing any more. Cartage and per diem! Ha! And I think you're dead-on about it being better. More money does not equal better music. Hope to see you on the road again so...

Forum, I am parting with my beloved '65 RI Twin Reverb. This has been my stage and recording amp for the last 6 years. Yes, it is a PCB reissue. I can assure you that I have put this amp through more than enough abuse to break it, and it has not broken. It had the reverb wired out of phase from the ...

John! What an awesome website! Not only do they have what I think is the exact product, sold in packages of 10 for 8 bucks, but their guide to sizing was super informative. Thanks for turning me on to this vendor! http://www.mcmaster.com/#retaining-rings/=a8e7qz Is about what i'm looking for. I'l ma...

Ahh! They're brothers! That's awesome! I wonder what other colors he made in 1966. Bobby Bowman was waiting for my call this morning. He knew exactly why I was calling. I love that dude! So he had some good tips on getting the parts I need, and then I talked with Gary Carpenter, who, by the way, is ...

Also: The workings under the hood were pretty complete, and I won't need much to get it configured the way I want, however there are a few items that I would love to locate: As mentioned, crossbars and bell cranks for this guitar would be really welcome. As it is, I'm going to repurpose the 9th peda...

Ah yes! Same headstock and endplates. I've been looking at lots of old Marlens and the hardware really varies. I saw a 66 with endplates bolted into the body through the front panel. Do you know the serial number of the red guitar? Also, did you add the shobud fretboard? Did you save the parts from ...

Not to disagree with the general sentiment, but I've been surprised by how well my reissue has survived heavy gigging. I've been playing it on stage and off for I think about 5 years now. It has probably played close to a thousand shows. Many of those shows were 3+ hours long, on stages without good...

http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix0912/4185_marlen_1.jpg The details: Serial #196688 (I assume this means it was made in '66) 9 pedals, cross-rod for a single knee added later than the pedals, but the lever itself is missing. Single finger changer, pull-release mechanism. No surprises there. Ni...

Can't resist.

My most influential recordings in order:

George Jones - Live at Dancetown USA (Buddy Emmons)
Johnny Paycheck - The Real Mr. Heartache [best of Lil' Darlin] (Lloyd Green)
The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo (Lloyd's playing especially)
Charlie Pride - Live at Panther Hall (Lloyd)

I thought your photo looked familar, Justin! We played together briefly when I first came to town two years ago in Leo Stokes' band. It'd be cool to reconnect! I need to come hear Loxley soon!

Johnny Cashdraw! A true gentleman. That experience was highly formative in my philosophy of play anywhere with anyone-- you never know when you'll be seen! Thanks for saying the steeling was good, but the draw is definitely the man up front. The dude is a riot to hang out with! If anyone wants to dr...

Hey Steve! I remember you from those dates. I see Casey every now and then at shows and he mentioned at one point that you were playing in Lucky's band. Good for you! Justin and anyone else-- come on out to a show and be sure to say hello! There's so much good going on in Austin and we all need to b...

If any of you guys have some free time this week, I'm playing: Wednesday at Hole in the Wall with Horse Opera Thursday at Scoot Inn with Leo Rondeau Friday at Poodie's Hilltop with Leo and Sunday all day at the Oaks for Shotgun Party's Chili cookoff. I'm playing with Leo at 3, I think, Mike and the ...
