I am new to Push Pull steels. I noticed that the clip that secures the pedal rod, does not clear the Pedal rod for pedal #2. After I t line up the hole , the clip bangs against the rod.

Rather ...

I've laid off the pedal steel for while and am getting back into it. One problem I have is Rolling my left foot off Pedal 2 while keeping Pedal 1 down. I'm finding that most times Pedal 2 is still ...

I'm looking for a pedal that will allow me to record a harmony part in advance, and then trigger it when it's time for me to play the main melody. (so the pedal plays the harmony part along with me). ...

Peter, please check your PM inbox. Thanks

Aside from having the top amp falling off, is there any reason why I shouldn't put 1 amp on top of another. Looking to save floor space. Thinking maybe the vibrations from one of the amps might not ...

If you only need a couple of cables, just buy some regular solder on plugs and call it a day. If they are soldered and assembled properly they should last forever.[/quote]

It's cool that the amps can interface with today's technology, but what about tomorrow? The amps will be like computers or cell phones, they will be outdated over time.

I'm ok with the sound and the feel of the pedal, the issue for me, is the way the volume comes on . As soon as I move the pedal to where I get sound, I feel like I get 75-80% of the max volume. The ...

I understand that having the lower and raise for the E strings on the same knee makes sense, since you would never use them at the same time. Having the E lower amd E raise on opposite knees, you lo ...

Jason, that's an awesome looking guitar, contrats.

Thats a great deal. The session 500 has a lot of cool features. I run a line out of the back of the amp, into my mixer and practice with headphones. To me the sound from that line out gives a great ...

To my way of thinking, a position means all the chords can be found at a given fret, without moving the bar.

I personally find that, if you're gonna use the E strings for thirds, the lowered Es is more useful.

Jeff, most of the songs that have steel on the original record, will already have a steel in the karaoke track. That can be a drag. I use this site where you can mix the track to remove certain ...

Hi, Gerald, I'm not sure on your confusion as it seems you have used the "A&F" position, which delineates the use of the A pedal with the lever raising both Es to Fs.

Mark, thanks ...

What is meant by the "A+ F position". I understand how the open and AB pedals down can be considered a position, But shaky on the A +F. To my way of thinking, a position means all the chor ...

I've got a Hilton pedal that came with the hardware to mount to an Emmmons pedal bar. I believe there is some hardware that I'm missing on my pedal bar. My pedal bar has 1 empty hole on top and 2 emp ...

Bill, not sure if I understand correctly, but the bent end of the rod attaches to the bell crank with the little cotter pin. The straight threaded end goes through the changer hole.
