This is the stage where Daryle Singletary sang his last song.

Was on break and saw how the stage lights were shining on my steel so I took a picture of it. My stage set up. No effects except reverb from my amp. Amp is a Fender Steel King loaded with a 2502 Black Widow speaker.

My messy setup at a casino show last night. First show with the Quilter TT12. Love it! Sound man couldn't believe how loud and low it got.

My rig is as simple as it can get; steel-guitar, volume-pedal, amplifier (Peavey Nashville 112 with Burr-Brown op-amps), with the second output of the volume-pedal to a Peterson strobo-Flip tuner. I also have a "Slyde-car" and "Pup" from Dale Hansen's Bessdang Gizmos.






I keep it as simple as I can because if it worked for all the greats back in the day then I should be able to make it work for me as well. If I don't play well, I can't blame the gear as there is very little of it.

[Bill L. Wilson]

Fender Twin, small pedal board for guitar, 2-12” single cab EVM-12L’s, a Tele, and the old Emmons LeGrande.

[Dave Hopping]

Steel goes direct to PA post FX, then to Fender Rumble 200 (1-15).

Here’s the rig that I use for a Soul/rock dance band that I play in. The second picture is my new EXCEL 11 string. I have onboard compressor, distortion and tremolo. I got those from Modboards and they sound great using a 9 V battery. Everything’s there right in front of me with the flick of my finger. I have a surface mount Lace pick up that covers strings 11 through 3 to get a beefier tone when I use the distortion. Also a small MOYO volume pedal with the Zoom Multi-stomp, which contains 50-60 delays,echo,reverbs,choruses,vibrato,Leslie,Rotovibe,phaser, etc etc. Many options you can scroll through but I keep it simple with 3-4 different preset echoes, chorus/vibrato speeds. The amp is a Quilter Toneblock 202 into a VHT cabinet with the TT 12 speaker. If I’m playing traditional stuff I usually use my Crossover and a little bit of echo maybe some tremolo. Sometimes nothing, not even reverb.

Here's my current double-duty rig - GFI Ultra SD10 through a Deluxe Reverb. Great tone and loud enough for my trio (without a drummer, of course)!

[Mark Besocke]

Here are pictures of my first live PSG performances in Denver and Colorado Springs. The band played great and we had dancers at all the gigs!

[Dave Hopping]

Here is a picture of my very first live PSG performance in Denver, CO.

During the white-out?

I’m glad Travis isn’t the only one crazy enough to carry 5 or 6 different instruments.
I now use a rolling “throne” between my keys and steel with dobro on the left. Works better if I have room. But I need roadies... 😉

[Brandon Schafer]

My GFI and Telonics are my most common set up. If I’m feeling saucy, I’ll bring out my Emmons. But, my GFI/Telonics set up is easy to carry and always delivers when I’m out and about.

[Dale Foreman]

[Scott Moon]

Straight to the amp...no effects.

[Jim Eaton]

My S-10 PP & Quilter @ Ventura County Fair. JE:-)>

[Dave Grafe]

[Paul Pearson]

This is my stage rig I use at church. I have a go to rig that I use on visiting churches. It also is a mullen discovery

[Chris Grigsby]

Do you usually bring that much beer to a gig? You must have killer roadies!

[Duncan Hodge]

Hands down, Bill Terry wins for the best and most tasteful stage rig.
