Pedabro Effect pedal 2023

I seldom use this feature because I have a Jerry Douglas model Dobro if I want that sound for a song. I can't say that the Telonics will satisfy your tastes but it's surprising good. If I get someone to record it I will try to get you a sound sample. The guys I play with are not interested in a Dobro sound in their style music.
Hi Larry, thank you for writing to me, if sooner or later you make a video where we can all understand how Telonics plays in TBRO mode it would help many who want to buy telonics. I already have my perfect amplification and now that I've found the sound I've been looking for for years I don't intend to change it just because telonics has this function. I'll look for a way to have a pedal or maybe two pedals that combined together will give me a tone closer to a pedabro and not a dobro. Thanks Francesco

No problem and thanks for understanding. What exactly is your setup now and how do you get the dobro sound?

Until you get a piezo pickup installed, the aura pedal will not do what it’s supposed to do. The aura imaging has to have a piezo signal, not a magnetic pickup.

Hi Chance yes I know this very well but in the PSG you can't have a piezo electric so to help this endicap try to use the aura pedal together with the boss G7 equalizer pedal and then let me know...Francesco
