I've read that Sneaky didn't use reverb, but a delay to add some space. Where's Jim Sliff? I think he's the resident Sneaky expert around here.

Great interview!

Justice and GFI are both great companies. The Justice S10 is easier for a student to deal with, I think, and changes can be added to it later if you get a very basic one. Talk to Ron about your needs. ...

Even Jerry Douglas uses a capo sometimes. Josh Graves used a bottle opener for one in the 50s. Yes you can play in any key without one but it’s different. If you’re gonna be a stickler about NOT u ...

Have you tried OD both before AND after the VP? I frequently do that. I have a Fender steel with built in effects that go before the VP but I have a little amp Reverb too. It’s more natural sounding ...

One of my Top Ten dobro tunes.

I like Xotic BB Preamp or RC Booster. Very organic sounding, not buzzy. They have tone controls too.

Adjust what? Tuning is adjusted with your fingers on the little stop screws.

I have had a few Dual Pros and Customs. A few years ago I picked up a boxcar type with no tuners on one neck. It was for a reasonable amount, just before Fender prices zoomed up. I found a tuning pan ...

…there are "steel guitars" with and without pedals, so: What kind of steel guitar is it? A pedal steel guitar.

YES YES YES!!! EXACTLY!

He used envelope filter for sure. That may have been built in. Things changed over the years. In 1969 he had outboard effects only and did use Leslie in the studio plus Echoplex because he didn’t li ...

I have two Supros and like the lap feel.

I have an S-10(called a “Jr” at that time) with 2+4 similar to Russ Pahl’s setup. Very good quality for price, fairly quick time frame. Ron was great to work with.

I love them. They fit my foot comfortably and the taper is perfect. I left mine on my car roof when unloading once. I drove off and it fell in the road where the back wheels of a semi ran over it. It ...

A few years ago I bought the very basic model S-10 Jr (now the S-10, upgraded to a 3 raise, 3 lower changer) to experiment with some different ideas. I was tremendously impressed with the materials, b ...

One of the things I've seen over the years is that the ladies are often the ones who want to start a conversation (ostensibly) about how pedal steel works.

I have my old Beard E model tuned to F. I’m having fun with it.
I use .017,.020,.028,.039,.049,.059
My G dobro uses 16,18,26,36,46,56

OK, BOOMER……haha. In Geological time nothing really means very much. So let’s just enjoy it while we got it.

We’re supposed to stay in one place?

My EXCEL keyless steel weighs under 25 lbs. I put it in a padded rifle case that weighs less than five lbs. Easy to carry anywhere, even onto a plane and right up in the overhead.

I’m wondering if it could be a keyboard patch doing those bends. Sometimes it sounds like a Clavinet, but then will bend into notes. I was in a band with a guy who had something similar on his keys.

You know…..if you now have a black Emmons it won’t sound as good after you change the color.
