What phaser?
Trying to do a little Waylon-esque stuff with the steel but my MXR phase 90 distorts with the hot pickups. Anybody know of other (cheap) pedals that’ll take that signal from the steel without breaking up?

I've heard the r28 mod helps get rid of the distortion.

Re: What phaser?
Have you tried it AFTER the volume pedal? That level should be plenty attenuated so as to not overdrive the pedal.Nathan Guilford wrote:Trying to do a little Waylon-esque stuff with the steel but my MXR phase 90 distorts with the hot pickups.

I'm currently using the "Big Joe" phaser.

Never had a problem with too hot of a signal. I've said this before, but i will repeat it. These types of "modulation" effects, operate best in a loop. Or at best, ran through a loop creator before the front of your amp. That's exactly why you fella's are getting an over driven distorted signal out of these. Besides the fact as brad mentioned, your pup signal is too hot.
It's the green pedal with the picture of Delta Blues player "Big Joe" Williams on it.

They aren't cheap but the Mutron Phaser and Phase 2 will take a line level signal without distorting so they should be able to handle a pedal steel.

I went through a bunch looking for something that approxamated Waylon's tone. If you're handy with a soldering iron this is reasonable and works great:
