I am looking for any of my fellow forumites who have played through both of these amps and can give me a comparison.

I have played a lot through the steelaire and would be glad to answer any questions you may have on that amp.I,m also a dealer and would be glad to sell you one at a great price.I take trade ins.I have not played the other amp so can,t give an opinion.I love my Steelaire for my pedal steel and telecaster and have played it at all volume levels from studio to country rock levels and it has been great.Thanks Jerry.

Those are both very pricey amps. I think it would be really hard to find someone who had both to be able to A/B them.

Hi Richard, I've had plenty of opinions on the Steelaire but only 2 on the Telonics and neither of them have tried a Steelaire.

I believe Jim Palenscar has done.
2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)

Coming from the 6 string world this is funny. So many guys own 10+ $2000 amp heads.
