I think Nashville broke Willie from the slick, overproduced sound. When he cut the Red Headed Stranger album, it was so stripped down that the suits thought Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain was a demo. H ...

Very nice take. Some standard stuff and some very creative original licks.

Speaker Exchange. 821 N. Nebraska Ave., Tampa, Fl. 33604 phone 813 237 4800. They do everything. Pull up their page. I have used them several times with good results.

I purchased my Fender volume pedal with my first steel about 1954. It is still going strong with the original no name pot, no scratches, one string replacement. The pedals I use with my pedal steels, ...

I don't think you would hurt anything to try it both ways and see which sounds best. I do that all the time with no problem.

Dale Watson called it the "two weeks notice neck." I have noticed more C6th with the high profile road bands lately. Nathan Fleming with Charley Crockett gets in his licks. Jesse Personeni ...

Jesse is an old soul in a young body. He loves the old pre pedals stuff and can rip some Joaquin Murphy. Really nice guy.

A lot of it is Willie's picking attack. It's like the pickup can't absorb the pressure of initial attack, but a nano second later the note blossoms. Notice if he picks soft, the note is clear, but if ...

Thanks to you guys that responded. I lucked out and found one locally. Billy Knowles had one and I beat him out of it. (He's so easy)

Kevin, I'm checking with a guy locally tomorrow night that thinks he might have one. If not, 'll get back to you. Thanks.

Thanks Ricky. Both will pass straight signal, but not distortion. On one, the volume knob is disintegrating. I've replaced the batteries but I can't find any broken wires or breaks in the little PC ...

Haven't been able to reach Chris from this information.

My old Boss Tone that I have had since the '60s has finally bit the dust. If anyone has one, I'd be interested.

Thanks Mike.

I have seen on here in the past there is someone who repairs these units. I am referring to the little black distortion devices that plug directly into the end plate input on the steel. Anyone?

Thanks Donny.

How bad does this amp want to see the double 8 ohm load =(4 ohms) that is standard? I have always been able to disconnect one speaker in my twins to get a better focus especially for guitar without an ...

If appearance is the only issue, just use a dollar store artist's brush and paint the wood in the holes flat black.

Man, this guy has got some chops. Wonderful phrasing.

I love playing non pedal. Its what I cut my teeth on. I play a Gibson Console Grande with The Lovesick Drifters. I have a triple National. If I were in a retro Western Swing band, I'd buy this one ...

I bought a TM Twin for a gig that I play once a month when I play steel and Tele. I play steel thru the Normal side with either a Holy Grail or a Lexicon reverb in front and Tele thru the vibrato/rev ...

I had the same rig. Shot put a single pedal on it for 75.00. It was the original Isaacs single pedal that does what out A and B pedals do.

Another vote for the Peavey Pacer. I picked up one for 35.00 and it even had a Mod reverb tank in it. It is dead quiet, so it makes a good studio amp and is plenty loud for miced situations. Anothe ...

He could read George like a book on his harmonies. R.I.P.

I like an.068 for the low C and have even used an .066 before. I think the lighter guage has more sustain and character. The .070 is just a little too "thuddy?" for me.
