I use one of the old green DOD 440 envelope filters but any of the major ones will get the job done. They work well with pedal steel and it's always fun coming up with different sounds.

I believe that is Robbie McIntosh on the Telecaster. Formerly of the Pretenders, a very skilled player who would have no problem doing wide pedal steel type bends.

I have never heard his version of this before. Outstanding! Thanks for posting this, now I have another album to search for...

Beautiful guitar! Curious, how deep (or thick) is the body on this one?

Wow, Charley and his band have really upped their game in the last couple years of touring, and it shows. Thanks for posting the link.

Interesting outcome. I have never had bad luck yet with JJ brand tubes. I sure hope their QC isn't going downhill, but one never knows? Corporate changes, cost cutting, etc.

Another trend with vint ...

"Playing hard rock wears out the guitar more than playing it at a wedding or banquet?"

It does if you're Pete Townshend Laughing

Very nice guitar, BTW

So sorry to see this. Fred offered invaluable help and advice to me when I started my pedal steel journey. He was always so generous and upbeat, and just a fun guy to be around. My condolences to his ...

I took the survey and passed the link on to others not on the forum. This sounds like a great idea!

I'll take it Richard.

You sure have some cool gear in there Patrick! If I'm ever in the area I would like to check it out. Good luck with your new business.

I had distortion with the MXR phaser as well. I think the BL705 pickup in my guitar is just too hot for it. I now use a TC Electronics Helix with no problems. It also has a lot more versatility than t ...

I just received my copy and does it ever swing! I'm so glad these performances were preserved and finally released. Thanks for putting this project together.

Another shout out here for Doug Hoffman! He is very helpful with DIY amp restoration, and really knows his stuff.

Dang - I like that sound!

Yes! I thought they did a great job with this tune.

Thanks for posting this. Ed's comping is a thing of beauty!

Naturally, a Gibson SG is going to be tonally different than a steel guitar. But he certainly has a technique. His hand vibrato is fantastic. I think even better than Duane's.

I have a CD of him with Jim Murphy that is a killer CD. J.R.

Yeah, no kidding! Did Redd ever play with Murph at Gabe's? I was there several times in the 90s. Always a killer band there. Seems like ...

No steel involved here, but if you want to enjoy an hour of outstanding Telecaster picking:

Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed that one!

Fun fact: that tune was written by "Big Al" Anderson of NRBQ fame.
