Here are the insides of the reissue VT pedal. Assuming yours has the pot bracket and pully, it could be done. Otherwise, I would try to find a used VT pedal and buy it. After replacing many pots, caps ...

That's the kind of conversation I crave! Hard to come by in my neck of the woods.

Ah the ones that got away, eh Dave? I had a brown Pro in high school that I eventually traded away. Back in the pre-vintage days they were just outdated used amps - didn't even have reverb. I weep to ...

I play a 1958 Fender 1000 pedal steel. I long held a theory that since it was designed for and tested with Fender tweed era amps, that is what it should sound best with. I finally acquired a little tw ...

It's basically just a trill on the top two strings right? I use my thumb and index. Classic example at 2:00 in this clip.

There is this from Behringer as well now for a more budget solution.

I enjoyed that = thanks for sharing! Gonna give it a try.

I tried several 15s in my Twin Reverb. I liked the JBL D130 but found the top end a little too much. The Weber Neomag 15 sounded very good but at only 75 watts it would crap out when things got loud. ...

Chris is a fine bass player and I'm sure it pays the rent and groceries, but I can't help thinking what a waste of his consummate steel talent! If I were Marty I would feature him on steel on at least ...

That's a nice looking stand Joe! Can you give more info?

My Rick D12 is admittedly awkward on the lap but manageable. The inside neck is a bit of a challenge and alters your technique. Still, it's a nice grab and go option for casual situations. I find that ...

C6 high to low ECAGEC contains a root major triad on strings 1 2 4 and the relative minor (Am) on 1 2 3.

Bill, the more often you jump in the ocean, the more likely you’re going to be eaten by a shark. (One of my old man’s little gems of wisdom.)

Good one Donny! Laughing

Ha! The original guitsteel!

Tim, is your new tone control like a stutter button? …basically a spring-loaded kill switch?

It's like a stutter button but instead of cutting the signal completely, it routes the highs to ground ...

Nice clip, Tim. I enjoyed that. That boo-wah effect at the beginning of your solo... are you using a volume & tone pedal for that? I noticed that you didn't use the tone control for that.

The Fender 1000 is admittedly a specialized instrument and not the best choice for the modern E9 style, which I never cared to learn. My thing is C6/A6 western swing with some Mooney and Isaac isms on ...

I use a baritone uke hard shell case for mine. A screwdriver to remove the accessory compartment and the neck support and Bob's Your Uncle! I put a pad on top because the case is too deep… the only ...

Are you changing the volume or tone pot? The volume should be audio taper, the tone is probably linear like the one Donny linked to.

It's the volume pot. You're right - I do need an audio taper for ...

This one appears to have the specs you’re looking for:

Thanks Donnie! I'll give it a try.

I'm having a hard time sourcing volume pot for my Fender vol/tone pedals. The original is a 250k ohm linear pot with a long shaft. I tried the Dunlop 500k but it messed up the boo-wah effect. The low ...

Humidity won't affect a Bakelite guitar at all. But keep it out of the sun. My panda detuned itself by a full step at an outdoor show last summer.

I have read in several forums that a baritone ukulele case fits the Rick shapes very well, however just a little modification is required.

That is one very elegant looking instrument. Hope it sounds as good as it looks. Congrats!

I am fortunate to own some beautiful Rickenbacker lap steels and Fender consoles which sadly my abilities don't do justice. I am more than satisfied with them and won't be acquiring any more steel gui ...
