The Steel Guitar Forum

I am trying out the uni tuning and the one thing i can,t stand is the :boo wah pedal:! Do you HAVE to have that or is there any thing else that will do some thing for me? HUUUUMMMMM? Such as a different pedal? Thanks guys Old Dave

If you can't stand it, why do you want something that would do the same thing for you?<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Earnest Bovine on 23 November 2006 at 09:44 AM.]</p></FONT>

Dave, exactly why don't you like it? Do you know how to use the pedal? Have you ever played c6th pedal steel before?

Here's a reccomendation...
Reconfigure your Boo-Wha pedal to only raise your B strings (strings 5,9,12) one half step (this should be pretty easy to do using the existing hardware, assuming it is an all-pull guitar).
This pedal is now analogous to your E9th F-Lever (which raises E's to F's), tune it in a similar fashion (if you use JI), and it can be used much in the same fashon as the F-Lever is used in E9th, only in the context of the 6th tuning.
Let us know if you like that change.

Mr. Bovine, i said :some: not the :same" about the boo wah pedal, what i was meaning could i get some suggestions for a different set up for it. Thanks old buddy, Old Dave
