The Steel Guitar Forum

Minimal rig that I used with Wine Country Swing. Sierra guitar, Telonics pedal, Milkman amp.



The effect box is for the microphone; I need a bit of help when I sing.

I like to travel light these days. This is it. Little GS 10 straight into Special 130 or LTD 400. I don't even break down the little Emmons. Just put it in back of can bungee it to side and go.

My vote's for Larry Hamilton. Larry, put me in your will.

Paul Await, I just saw this, thanks for the kind words. The rig is amazing and sounds just as amazing. Since this picture I have gone the LW small 12” cabs and PF 350 speakers. Pictured cabs are 115 cabs, one with PF350 and the other PF400. In the matching FX rack is a Peterson Stroborack, MX200 and power conditioner. Not shown is a Telonics VP

Larry Bressington sure would love to see the front of this Mullen is that some Crome strips on top bottom of the back apron

Yes paul, i did the neck also and front clip, i used chrome automotive detail tape found any auto parts shop. By the way, the whole rig and guitar rig two (6 banger guitars) fits in the trunk of a chevrolet sonic, i travel light, and it's a delight, at the end of the night!

Thanks Larry I to use a wound 6th jaguar Ricky Davis set

Larry, I love the chrome look on that Mullen. I see the Pod on the Tommy Dodd bracket, what's that device on the left and how is it attached to the leg? How are you keeping the steel bungee cordded to the car? Anchor to back seat?

My stage rig. Plain and simple. We played a campground last night. I love my tone with no frills. Just a little Reverb and my Steel Guitar Black Box.

Hope you don't mind a non-pedal rig!
1956 Rickenbacker DW16
DV Mark Gallileo 15w Tube amp / Neo 1x12 cab
Boss MS-3 + EV-5 used as a volume pedal.

It's the IEM (in ear monitor module) Larry. No bungee cables required in the trunk of the car, it's all a nice tight fit, it's 4 door not a hatchback. The complete rig set up takes about 10 mins with guitars dialed in.

Wow, that is a clean looking setup. Your butcher block platform sure makes my plywood jobby look cheap. It’s a better idea, too, for those grass/dirt/gravel “stages”. Can you explain that mic rig a little, b0b? I gotta get one of those.

Larry, thanks for the info on the rack and car hauling.
Fred, I use one of those double drum clamps, one on the leg and the other on the mic stand extension. Looks like Bob has a plastic clip. I can say the drum clamp is solid.

Frank, can you explain what you did for your rackmount board? I am planning on doing something similar with my stereo steel setup, but the way you did it looks better than what I had in mind.

Might as well post my setup while I'm here

I used to have a keg jus like that one.

The Guitar belongs to my friend Brian Lonbeck.

Billy, please say howdy to Brian for me. Did a handful of gigs with him in the late 1970s, hell of a player, him and his Mosrite geetars! He sat in with Bobby Eubanks who I played with at the Lariat in Carson, CA.
