Compression on Steel (Post Production)

[John McClung]

No, I seldom use compression live on my steel. If I do, I have an Origin Effects Cali 76, which is basically an 1176 in a pedal, very cool.

John or anyone: have you had a chance to try the Cali 76 Stacked Edition pedal? 2 compressors chained together, a bit like the Slide Rig with more control of each compressor. Very curious how useful it might be on pedal steel guitar.

[John Macy]

Haven’t tried that. Like I said I seldom use it in a live situation, or the studio for that matter. I do use the Slide Rig on lap steel, though. It and a Zen Drive drop you pretty deep into Lindley world.
