Early small cabinet version!!!

Hi Dave! I’ve actually made spacers to go between the pedal bar and leg clutch. I used aluminum tubing, and even polished it with simichrome polish to make it look like the chrome legs. It worked great. However, my other 2 Emmons guitars have the 1” longer legs and I really like the stock look (no s...

Thank you guys!

Hi guys, does anybody know where I can find a set (4) of legs for my Emmons push pull that are 1” LONGER than stock? Also, I need both fretboards for the same guitar. I’d like to find the original metal boards. Silver or white doesn’t matter. Thank you for any help you can provide! Karl

I installed a EPS 12 in my Nashville 112. It’s definitely better sounding than the stock speaker.

The best tone I’ve found for overdrive is a Fender Pro Junior… Tone control at 2 and Volume control 10-12…. mash the volume pedal and have at it. When overdriven slide guitar is required (ie Boot Scootin’ Boogie), I unplug from my steel amp and plug into the Pro Junior. My 2 cents worth! My Pro Juni...

Yes.

I have at least one of all of the older Peavey steel guitar amps up thru the USA made NV112. I also have 2 Evans FET500's, and 3 Twin Reverbs. ALL of the Peavey amps sound great. I've always been able to scoop out the mids to my satisfaction with each and every one of them. My current go-to amps are...

I've used my NV112 at home, in the studio, and on stage. Works well everywhere! The younger guys I play with occasionally tend to get a little loud on stage, so while the NV112 worked, I was pushing it fairly hard... so when I go out with them I bring the NV1000. I don't play any louder, but the add...

I'll take both. Sent you a PM Gary

Thanks for the effort Billy! I sold a Session 500 (short cabinet) back in the mid 80's. I thought I kept the remote (not sure why) but as of yet I haven't been able to locate it. I may have actually let it go with the amp??? I'm thinking I may attempt to build a remote. BUT... in the meantime... Hey...

Thanks Billy! I'll patiently await your response!

I'm searching for a leg mounted remote control for a Peavey Session 500. Any condition will do. Thanks!

Hello All, I'm looking for an empty Peavey Session 400 Limited cabinet (or a "cheap" complete amp, dead or alive) for a 400 Limited chassis I have. Thanks!

I've been experimenting with a Shure Beta 52 kick drum mic with really good results. I've used sm57's and 609's. My go-to mic for the last 25 years has been an AKG D1000E. But, I seem to be getting a really good sound with the Beta 52. The jury is still out...

Hi Mike! I actually used to use it in that manner in the early 80's when I bought my first Session 500 (small cabinet too!). Playing unison strings just slightly off pitch to create a chorusing effect seemed to work best. Now, it seems like everybody has a keyboard player... so we've been forgotten!...

My first steel was a brand new white MSA Classic 8+4. My dad bought it for me in 1975. It had the Super Sustain pickups and like the others have stated, was heavy. It's the only steel I've had that the handle broke on the case while I was loading it into the trunk of my dad's 73 LTD. However, it was...

Thanks Tony and Jerry! John, the tuners are very stiff. I had the same tuners on an MSA Classic SS that I bought new, and I didn't like them then for the same reason. However, it looks like I'm going to have to live with them! Thanks again guys!

Does anybody know if the stock Sperzel tuning machines on my early D-10 Zum can be replaced with Grover 210C tuners? I was hoping for a direct fit?

Would it be possible to mod the string effect distortion in the Session 500 to be more like a tube screamer overdrive or similar? The stock sound has it more in the big muff realm. It would be nice to get a bluesier tone rather than the Hendrix tone!

Boy, I sure feel dumb right now! BTW, nice guitar!

Dave, I really appreciate the helpful info! My Twin is still stock. I've had it "benched" for several years! I'm hoping to get it back up and running real soon, hence my search for decent tubes that it won't eat. When I last had it in use, it burned up one of me Winged C 6L6's from the bia...

There's one listed right now in the steel guitars for sale section of the forum. Basket weave PP with wood necks.

Dave, I've been seriously considering TUNG SOL 7581A tubes for my 135 watt Twin. I haven't tried them in anything yet, but the reviews I've been reading about them are quite favorable. These are brand new "reissue" tubes. The price seems to be around $20-$25 apiece in a matched quad.

Hi Andrew, I'll give you your asking price of $150 plus shipping to 15438. Thanks!
