I use a 10 string bar on my 12 string...I'll trade you bars if you want...

Thanks...I've subscribed...just was looking for a single tune that went through most of the usual changes all in one???

I've been playing for awhile and I admit that I've been faking it using just AB pedals almost all of the time and I want to get into using more of the levers etc...(I've got ABC and 5 knee set up in standard Emmons config) Looking for a tune that sort of would be a good one to learn that demonstrate...

I would think as long as the polarity of the power supply was correct for the HOF, it should work fine. The circuit is only going to pull what it needs. I used a single "One Spot" @ 1700ma to run 3 boxes. Again, if the polarity is correct, I think it'll be fine. I found a total of three a...

Stephan or anyone...
I just found I had a wall wort that's 1000ma/9v....would that work even though the HOF is rated at 100 ma?...or would it blow it up?

Picked up a HOF today since the closest store to my house happened to have one in stock....very happy with it and I'm sure it will suffice me for all my reverb needs!...question...is the battery still drained by having the leads plugged in, or only when the pilot light is lit as in on position?...I ...

yeah,when I used to play out, the Session 400 reverb was just fine with me... when it's in my quiet room and for recording, it's got to be sweet...

Yeah Lane...simple is probably better....there's a lot of sounds on some of these that I'd never use...(but you never know)

Yes, I plan on taking a couple home with me...I've sourced locally a HOF, a used RV-5, and that Soundblox 2 Dimension Reverb unit...

Anyone ever heard of or tried this unit?

Thanks Dickie....that's why I'm going to go to the local store rather than buy "blind" (or should that be deaf?)...maybe they'll have a few others in stock too...

thanks for the suggestions...I notice that a local store has the HOF reverbs in stock so maybe I'll try one out...

Hi, I've just got back into steelin' after a long absence and I'm not ever going to be a pro or out gigging much so I'm using what I happen to have on hand for an amp...it's Traynor keyboard amp and hence, it doesn't have any built in reverb or FX so I'm looking for the latest/greatest outboard box....

If you think Bruce Kaphan can't really play the steel and try to compare him to non-standard country styled players like Garcia....just have a listen to this....and then tell me he hasn't got any chops!

I actually supply the name of the steel player for the piece of music around which the thread was started, and eight posts later, zero mention of this individual, though some did enjoy the playing itself. Apparently the musician himself is of no interest, and the thread receives replies about the s...

Thanks for all the referrals, I've found a plethora of material....and most of it downloadable too... IMHO, this way is the way to go now for instructional material....Downloadable video along with taking payment by Paypal.... I don't think people selling old DVDs and expecting checks in the mail ca...

Interesting Donny.... And you know that the modelling in these new SS amps will have models of all the classic old tube amps in them....

Thanks for those pointers...I should be very busy now....

I just downloaded a whole DVD of dobro lessons where they teach by video of slowly playing phrases and playing along with a guitar player...all without any tablature (works best for the way I learn)....unfortunately the company only deals with acoustic instruments so don't have nor plan on having an...

So what I'm getting here is that tubes have a sweeter sound as long as they're not overdriven but the transistor amps will blast it out there cleaner if one is in a high volume situation?

I know....the same old can of worms... but... I've recently returned to pedal steel and am enthralled by all the new tech changes from 30 yrs. ago... I remember Jeff Newman telling us in '82 how you need a transistor amp for steel since steels have so much natural harmonic distortions happening with...

I placed a bid $100 over the starting price on one but the reserve hadn't been met....The seller lowered his reserve towards the end of the auction to the price I'd bid but it lowers your bid in this case to $1 less than the reserve....I would have bought it if he'd had that price as his reserve fro...

...and if the course is used, presumably the fees for included songs have been already paid for as they're paid by "per copy produced" method and you'd only be buying someone's course that they'd paid for originally to the original creator of the course...

My Fessenden S12 has a half pad...

Wow...I'm not even sure what gauges are on there now and the previous owner doesn't know either so I bought a micrometer and will measure (I'm so lazy that I don't want to re-tune everything for new strings) so I can order the same gauges...
Every chart I've come across is different...
