What are the different ways to hook up a preamp?
Does it depend on the amplifier, you are using?
Thanks

wireless instrument system

I play steel guitar, in a large church.
I'm wondering if any players use a wireless
system for their steel guitar. I'd like to use
my amp and also use wireless, into the sound system.

cryogenic strings

I've been using the GHS Americana strings on three steel guitars---since I tried the Live strings. So far, I have liked them. But---I put a new set on my Mullen G2, last night. (I use a Zirc bar, very slick). I was in my music room--- so there was not a lot of noise, around me. After tuning up and p...

chet style on 6 string

I do

Have been playing guitar for 55 years.

Diff. between Travis and Atkins is:

Chet played rhythm, with his thumb, on strings
alternating--6-4 and 6-5.

Merle mostly used his thumb and ?

Merle was very good at what he did,
but, then there was Chet

I use the Chet style

string trem. effect

I have had this problem.
Found it to be coming from Geo L cable---straight plug.
Apparently the screw was into the center cable.
I cut and put plug back on.
Problem went away.

Pickup or speaker

I would say you need both.

I had the speaker first.
Then, I realized how much I needed the pickup.

I have a 85 combo Milkman amp. and G2 Mullen steel.

I had, already, got used to the great sound of the Amp. Then, I sought after the pickup--I have a model 84pw.

Hooking up a Sarno Classic thru the front of a Peavey 112

I've had this Sarno Classic preamp for a couple of years. I've had problems getting, what I consider a better sound. I got it out of the closet, a couple of days ago and hooked it up. Not thinking, I just plugged it in the front of the Peavey 112. I was surprised at the clear sound and control of th...
