It really is designed for 6 string.
The speaker and pre-amp needs to be
voiced for steel.

FWIW,one of the guys I play with has one for six string and my impression is that it would be really dry and brittle sounding for pedal steel. I assume they all have the 12 inch 'Scorpion' speaker which probably isn't an ideal choice for steel either. <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Bill Miller on 24 November 2006 at 06:30 PM.]</p></FONT>

Does yours have the Blue Marvel speaker ? I just picked up a 3 month old studio pro and the reverb tank was dead.I took the tank out of my Nash 112 to try and the amp sounds pretty good, atleast good enough for practice.
