thanks that day is in the distants but it is coming.

i like the idea. pretty neat.

with those amps with all the FXs on them do they ever sound to processed? some times i wonder "is it me or the pedal?"

i have had very deep thoughts of a double course 8 & also a 10 string . i haven't been able to come up with a good tuning for a 13, any thoughts?

what would be a good amp for both pedal & lap?

what amp would be good for both pedal & lap?

without question a D-10 & all kinds of amps (since i don't have 1 except a little practice amp) but i'm good from there.

i'm starting my building of my 1st lap steel & thought i would ask for advice. should i go for a 6,7,or 8? i do plan a couple more projects in the future but i plan on going to a 8 eventually so what does anyone think? i was leaning towards a 6 just for the whole thought that maybe that should c...

thank you all so very much!

looks greats!

no ideas well that's ok.

well, after alot of work & tons of help from ya'll i now have my church's psg in tune pedals set & knee lever in order oh yeah plus a new set of strings, now to the matter at hand when i was setting the knee lever i noticed that the #2 string the Eb was not going to D so at further inspectio...

right on!

my best guess would be it is really more on your style & note selection than anything else.

i just wanted to thank everyone for their e-mails sorry i didn't do this sooner, i was having trouble getting them. thank you again.

thanks guys!

is anyone familar with this video? does he use a 6 or 8 string lap & what's his tuning?

just wantin' to find 1 that's good enough for the bigs even if i'm not gonna go that far.

well the title says it all what do you guys think of magnum steels? think hard about getting the double neck.

the steel in question is a MSA Sidekick. it is a real God send due to big family & not alot of extras. i was wanting to explore new fontiers & i saw Robert Randolph on Austin City Limits & thought "i never heard steel that way." blew me away, plus grew up going to the roadeo &a...

line 6 or digitech

can a steel set up for E9 be changed to a personal tuning or does it need to stay where it is?

the steel i haveis on loan from my church so no money lost. just trying to get things figured out. tho 3 peds & 1 knee is still more steel than i can handle, well so far.

the steel i have at the moment has 3 pedals & 1 knee lever. the knee lever changes the2 string to D & the 8 string to Eb. seems strange to me, but i'm new to this. does anyone know where i can get some good instruction books for this set up? i feel very lost in the land of E9th chromatic tun...

it may not always make a person out of tune or off tempo, but it can effect your sound, dynamics, choice of notes, & the list goes on. the other gentlemen are right on & what you are experiencing is true mood effects everything. personaly i have went out not caring what happened & played...
