Dave; The song matters too - that affects my tone the most.

Amen Donny: My old country band works that way - vocals only through the PA (and maybe some kick drum). It is so fun. My other bar band is "great" by all accounts, and we play festivals wi ...

First thing is make sure its hooked up right Smile

I mounted a t-nut to a piece of plywood about the size of the steel to make a platform, and use a camera tripod. The camera bolt on the tripod screws into the plywood top.i used some small pieces of V ...

I've got three now - (1)volume, (2)effects control for gigs, and (3) for the home practice setup. I got rid of all my big ones. They're great.

Take a piece of low-density foam, a rag or paper towel and slip it inside the spring?

I'm thinking of upgrading my beater practice board/lap steel. I want to replace the cheap wood-mounted guitar tuners with a keyhead. I don't need anything fancy, and I don't need the tuners...

The first thing I would do is plug your pedal board into the amp, then unscrew the guitar cord cover at the amp input end to expose the terminals. Use a voltmeter to measure the DC voltage at these am ...

My wife got us tickets for Christmas. I couldn't believe it.

They are great. I use 2 in stereo and everything fits in my seat except my speakers.
