The Steel Guitar Forum

I recently got hold of a used Shiftline Twin 11 preamp pedal and have been using it straight into the power amp of my Session 400 limited to warm up the tone as it uses a 12ax7 valve. It is supposed to emulate a 65 Blackface Twin amp, and I must say it livens up the sound noticeably. It can be used ...

Hi Mike

I have the older SGBB and it has uses 12au7 or ECC82 tube, but as I remember Brad said you should avoid the ones with spiral filaments.

Mine is 0438 12AU7

You mean, 3 metres and 1 metre not 3 feet and 10 feet

From what I can gather Bruce, you can't do what you are saying without a small mixer of some kind. Here is how I solved the same issue https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/7850_Steel_setup_1.jpg Basically I used an old Korg Pandora by Toneworks as a small mixer, to mix the guitar input (centr...

Hi Folks, I built my own Pedal Steel Guitar about 15 years back and enjoyed doing it. I will hopefully build another one day having learned all of the pitfalls building my first. Here are a few pics http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/7850_Rebel1_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix15...

Jeff, the pics below might show how all of the fingers move together during raising and lowering

Mine is 19000k but this is a 12 string model

Tab,
this guy is from Holland originally, he started the European steel guitar builders forum many years ago. Seemed like a decent fellow back then.
Lost track of him till now,

Has anyone used a Korg Pandora PX4 or the newer PX5?

Hi folks, I'm looking at buying a heaphone amp to avoid upsetting other people in the house. I could do with one I can jam along with, cd or mp3 input with effects such as reverb, equalisation etc. I'm looking at Digitech 150 (or 155) and Korg Pandora mini, but I'm not sure if the digitech has the j...

Jerry I guess what I am asking really is, will machineheads work correctly in both directions. The pressure winding it one way will push the wormgear downwards, the other way will lift it towards the button. Do they have a thrust washer both above and below the wormgear. this is what was discussed i...
