Is Non Pedal good early training for Pedals later?

Lap steels, resonators, multi-neck consoles and acoustic steel guitars

Without playing the PSG I had gained an ability to find two and three note chords all over the neck.
Same here. I've play mostly lap steel at home for the past few years, and that has IMPROVED my pedal steel playing. Now when I play PSG I use more slants, more chord voicings without pedals. Minimal use of knee levers and pedals. There's A LOT of stuff available on 10-string E9 without even touching the pedals and levers... and no detuning issues, an added bonus. :wink:
