New Steel Guitar Tube Preamp

<SMALL>You said a "low-z cable". I'm not clear on what you mean by that in this situation.</SMALL>

The part of Z that seems to hurt the tone is the capacitive reactance, so that is what I was trying to say with less typing.

I thought the preamp was a big winner! I tried it out in the Zum room and loved it. I didn't get to use it on stage because Russ wanted to use it on our set. And Russ sometimes doesn't share toys with others...

I think this will end the search for the perfect steel preamp.

Bob,
This is from the description of the Revelation features:

<SMALL>Instrument level send/return loop for Volume and/or FX pedals</SMALL>

I've ordered one of these from Brad and can't wait!

Brad,

Were Randy and Larry using the vol. pedal loop?

Yes, they were all using the vol-pedal loop. Not only does that give you the variable impedance and the silent tuning feature, it also give the black-box style tube buffering of the pickup.
