Seems to be a trend back to 'stomp box' FX pedals . . .

Suggestions on current model FX units? Rack/Table Top or Floor?

Years back I used the Peavey Tube-Flex I think it was called.

Do most route the FX unit through FX Send/Return on rear or use the front Input?

Thanks,

Billy

Please attach pics and related info.

Thx.

Looking for a like-new SD10 w/ pad E9, either 3+4, 3+5 or a 4+4. I would also consider a Williams 700, GFI Ultra or Mullen G2.

Is the Derby SD-10 w/ a full 3x5 setup sold?
Thx,
Billy

Thinking about buying a Mullen G2 SD-10 E9 in Red or Blue. OR Similar Williams 700? OR Similar GFI Ultra? Suggestions? I typically prefer a somewhat short pedal/knee travel. As most I assume, smooth action and out of the case with minor tune-up/adjustments required to play gig. Weight matters IF cas...

Rack Multi-Effects Units That Are Available Today? Preferred models? I have used a Peavey Tube Flex with a Nashville 400 for years but Tube Flex are getting hard to find, etc! So, I'm looking around for a newer model FX unit that is still in production. I'm getting a new Quilter Steelaire so why not...

Considering a GFI DB E9 10 String Ultra. Lighter weight good but this worries me as well. Does it feel shifty or unsettled? Cabinet drop or tuning issues? Smooth pedal movement? I would like to play one but in SE Georgia, I know of none around. Opinions on the Ultra? I loved my DB ZUM and the DB Der...

Tab for Someday Soon by Judy Collins.

Who played Steel? Buddy E I think.

Tab Ain't Going Nowhere by Byrds.

Who played pedal steel?[/i]

Billy

Looking for a Sho Bud Lacquer Green LDG E9 Pedal Steel, 3+4. I understand that the later models of the LDG had some upgrades, which would be good. Must be the Lacquer Green finish. BTW: Anyone have the Tab on Ain't Going Nowhere by The Byrds. Who played the steel on that session, LG or BE. Also Some...

I actually got a little lucky and used a triangular file to dress-out the damaged threads. Yea, the pipe was not bent or damaged so it all worked out great! So now, if moving my ABC pedal starting position over 1 space helps me out, I'm ready to start playing the Green Derby again. The steel appears...

Jerry and others, I think it's the 7/8-27 as well. I re-counted threads and re-measured. The legs only have 1/2" of threads so I had to count and multiply by 2 to get TPI.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Later, Billy

I do count ~ 24 TPI and diameter measures 3/4", so if I am accurate its a 3/4-24 UNF machine thread. Like you say, and I agree, it's a straight machine thread. Re-counting 1/2" of threads (~12) suggests 24 TPI. The diameter does measure 3/4" using outside calipers. I think 3/4-24 UNF ...

Hello All, I know the leg to body is a male thread 1/2"-13 but what is the bigger outer pipe-like thread size? It appears to be a ~1/2" pipe but ~32 TPI Straight. Is this correct? What do you think? Yep, I did get the 'Green' Derby back again. It's a very nice, very clean, not used much Gr...

BMI Sold. Thanks for all the support.

William

Hello All, My black BMI S10 E9 3+4 is For Sale at $900.00 + S&H from Zip 30458. I have reworked it over the last several years, and is good steel on stage or an excellent student steel. I installed a few BMI improvements purchased from BMI. It has great single coil tone with very minor tuning an...

Yes, too far left.

William

I understand the difference in Emmons and Day setup. What I am referring to is a difference in the starting position of the first floor pedal in some few of the earlier Derbys.

Thansk,

Billy

hello All, It looks I am getting the Green Derby SD-10 E9 3+4 back. My friend is not using it, so he's passing it back this way. When I used it last, the position of the ABC pedals were not in the position that they are manufactured currently. I understood that Derby did build a few with the shifted...

No, I do not have a raise helper, only a changer return spring.

Thx.
billy

Lee, I added an upgrade to my BMI, that allows for weaker but longer return springs. It's basically a dog-leg (L) shaped bracket that extends the return spring anchor point out under the hex tuners about 1/2". It helped the over playing. Don will mostly have one for sale or I could make for you...

John, what brand PSG is the one in your undercarriage photo? It looks clean and very well made.

Thanks,

Frank just told me that he is almost a year out from shipping. I wonder if I could place an other now . . . I guess I need to ask him about such. Herb, you are absolutely correct, we are in the Golden Age of PSG manufacturing. Affordable CNC machining centers have made this possible. A major spin-of...
