The info about the Delta 44 is quite helpful. I have plenty of the M-Audio cables and breakout boxes.

M-Audio Delta REV-D PCI Sound Card

Do you ever publish a list of your inventory? That would be a good resource for anyone in the market.

I don't move my D10 out of my studio and don't play gigs but this is what I would consider if I did.

I am going to suggest concentrating on styles. Most people,I think, use BB to make backing tracks for practice. That is what I use it for, but I am neither a rocket scientist nor in any way special. ...

I might could use this one. Tutorial #17

When I started playing steel back in 2012 I just picked up the bar and started using it. Even if I am o.k. with using it the way I do, I don't mind improvin ...

James - I am of the same opinion as you RE: tone - it is the player, the amp, the speaker, the pickup, the volume pedal, and then the guitar, in more or less that order. I admit this opinion does not ...

James, you can get the same effect by lowering the E with the E lever, then sliding back one fret and adding the B pedal while half-pedaling the A pedal. It takes lots of practice, but it's another w ...

Maybe consider ...

You can lower the 4th string a full tone I suppose.. however you might need another lever to do so, or use a feel stop on the lever that lowers both e's, but IMO, it would not work well.. I understan ...
