Wayne is coming to Knoxville, 3/30. Anyone know if or who he has a steel player ? Thanks, Steve

he was a unique guy, one of the real gems of our community.
always willing to share an opinion, and had a passion for what he said.

he and his posts will be missed.

get the Mullen. its sleek, and really a smart piece. if you get another steel, or pedal, you can just buy the one piece you need.

check it out on their site. its the best.

It may help to isolate the following :
1 turn off the reverb. Does the noise stop ?
2.if you can, test the speaker using another amp, and check the amp using another speaker.

The piece you’re ...

Lynn Stafford might know someone. i think hes in Oregon, but he can work magic on a Zum.

+1 for the Peavey Delta Blues, with the 15”. I paired one to my Stringmaster , and it sounded really nice. It looks the part, if that’s a concern. Cant cut the mustard for pedal steel.

I tried it.

I’m a pinky tucked under guy, and I need improvement.
Someone asked the question at a teaching seminar. The response was
“There’s no secret, just practice”

my kid played his martin through my NV400, using the stock pickup in the guitar.

it sounded great at moderate volumes. no feedback, easy to dial in.

you need one that transmits data, not just a charging cable. about $5.

its a breeze once you have the right cable, Fender tech support was a pleasant surprise.

There’s not enough bandwidth.

I do believe if I kept my first pro level steel , (Mullen PRP) , I think I’d sound no better than all the steels I’ve spent a small fortune on.

My experience with Jeff was this:

Teaching steel was his living.

So, even after attending one of his seminars, if I approached him to chat about my steel learning journey, he would quickly term ...

Thank you b0b.
