P F Benado Steel Dream. Paul F. Has Spoken!

[William Fairchild]

so what is it...? benado or benaldo?

After all the previous posts in this thread, what could possibly make you think it could be Benaldo?

Hey Randy
Yes,I've had my unit for a couple of months now and I'm very happy with it.

here's why, william:

This is because the Benaldo has an all analog dry path, the reverb or delay is mixed in along with the analog dry signal. To my ears it's a huge difference over a standard reverb/delay processor, where the signal goes into the digital domain. I was using a TC Electronics Nova pedal, which has great sounding reverb and delays, but the Benaldo sounded better to my ears. I'm using a setup that's very similar to the Benaldo these days: An Earth Drive with an Earthquaker reverb/delay pedal, which has an all analog dry path like the Benaldo.

Well, if Dan Tyack is not using a Benaldo, I want to make sure to be not using the right Benaldo too! Of course 'fn you aren't good enough to hear the difference, it don't matter what you're not using....
