The MXR reverb is really really good.

It has 6 different algorithms, including plate, spring, hall, room, and a very good synthy-sounding shimmer.

You can use it mono or stereo.

It is small ...

I was recently featured on a local TV show with my band. Here's one of the pieces we played:

This is amazing. Love it!

PROBLEM SOLVED

Ok, guys, please don’t revoke my forum membership. There was, in fact, one screw loose: the one with the wing nut that clamps the pedal bar to the leg, near the pedals. And it’s ...

So, it turns out that those screws on the rear metal strip were already pretty loose! I’m still getting about 9 cents of raise on the 6th string when lowering 2 and 9 or 4 and 8. Gonna try looking a ...

Thanks Brett! What do you think is the right amount of play?

Tucker, I think you are right on. I've had issues with that metal strip before in the winter time. In fact, Jerry suggested we file down the cross-shafts to solve the problem, but he had already put t ...

hi Tucker,

Guitar is a 10-string Fessenden.

The RKR (lower 2 and 9) yields even more raising on the 6th string, about 3-4 cents more than the LKR (lower 4 and 8 ).

Thanks!

I don't see anything move, either at the changer or underneath the guitar, that would indicate any rubbing and such, but I'll try your suggestion.

I also want to point out that although I posted th ...

Does the amount of raise increase if you push the lever against the stop?

Yes, if I grab the lever with my hand and really push on it, I can get it to a full 18 cents of raising! But I do get 7 c ...

Thanks Tucker. I believe it is a newer problem. I mean, I like to think I would have noticed it before if it wasn’t! I’ll have a closer look at the endplates or the cabinet, but again, seems like ...

Hey guys,

I recently noticed a pretty bad detuning issue with my 6th string. Whenever I used the LKR (lowering e’s), my 6th string goes way sharp. Looked at the changer and underneath the guitar, ...

I really enjoy mine and Dennis is a great guy to deal with! Here's a clip of me playing Applejack using both necks:

If anyone has a phone number, feel free to send it to me via private message. Thanks!

Thanks Ron! Have you tried it in an ampless setup, with in-ear monitors, or recording straight from the pedal? And why do you have two? One for steel and one for guitar?

Thanks David, I found a different email address on his website, hopefully that one will work.

Interesting. Their fx pedals are not really in my radar for some reason. But I might get the Dream 65 anyway for guitar duties. For pedal steel, I always ended up with a Quilter one way or another.
