Again most uni copedants match pedals 5-8 of the Emmons setup. I found it awkward when I switched getting used to working from the bottom strin...

Telonics Support

I know this has been mentioned several times before but I have to give a shout out to Mark Dunn and all the Telonics Organisation for the terrific backup they give to customers and the way that they stand by their products. As a long time user I have to say they are an example to all.

The pedal stops on my Excel are round metal items fixed to the front apron with allen screws. The screw is offset from the centre so loosen the allen screw, rotate the round stop to lengthen or shorten the travel and re-tighten the fixing screw.

Mine is a 12 string version of this guitar. There are a total of 7 raises and 5 lowers, the top two sets of holes are for knee levers that move to the right (LKR RKR) and if you check the bellcranks they are under the cross shafts (like a push/pull) and do not require reversing mechanics like most a...

Tommy the show with Vince was great and the front of house mix was reasonable. Pity the sound crew decided that Little Big Town and Tim McGraw needed to be at decibel levels that made the vocals almost inaudible. But your set made the journey worth while.
