Everyone that likes distortion has a box of old stomp boxes. LOL

Correct me if I am wrong.
When tuning with A&B pedals down you are really tuning open strings to A 440 for a starting pitch on the 6th string.
Tuning Es with pedals up or open you would be tuni ...

This is what I use.

I had a Revelation Pre-Amp with a Stewart World PA-400 and it would hiss at very loud volumes.
The hiss was not really auditable at loud volumes or with the volume pedal off.
Definitely keep the St ...

It was ever thus: that inversion (A pedal/F lever) is no place to linger for too long. You can learn to 'play' it in tune and, anyway, it's no worse than a bar-slant if you use more than two strings. ...

Most people didn’t even know what cabinet drop was until electronic tuners came along. Don’t even worry about it, just tune and play. 😊

Seems fairly easy to hear the drop it if your ear is d ...

Two 12s for me.
Newer speakers sound better than old worn out ones.

Be Careful !! if you get a new MSA, because you might end up with two! ^_^

I use a NUX Atlantic for reverb and tap tempo delays.
Pitch fork has a killer chorus and will drop tune to E flat.
LEX for Leslie type effect.
Tom Bradshaw Resonator for DoBro effect.

Gimmi an E is not a good answer unless everyone in the band is a old pro.
Certainly not a good answer for a beginner.
Back in the good old days things were not in perfect tune.

Bill Lawrence XR-16 for me.

Just buy one you won't regret it! ^_^
Really one speaker is plenty.
I have Two 12 inch TT-12 speakers and it is a pretty light setup.

When I switched to the Peterson offsets that have the Es slightly sharp it seems more in tune in a live setting.
Sort of the same as Tuning the Es with the pedals down I guess.

Steeltronics ZB single coil? Black $195 plus S/H

I have had several dealings with Dave Beaty and were all very good and above most companies service.

Universal B6th side at first for me seemed thin sounding but after awhile it came together and sounds good now.
Very happy with my move.

Check your messages.

Here is the video. Sounds good!
I wish Scott would demo this before and after the volume pedal.
This video seems to be with the effect after the V. P.

That looks pretty standard for Newman Universal E9th/B6th.
I like the E lower on RKL. Just what I am used to.

I had a Carson Wells D-10 that sat for many years with same problem. After disassembly, cleaning the gears with parts cleaner, re-greasing, they were still tight. Spun them with a drill, still tight, ...

Depends on the amp. I like TT12s and they are light.

I used to use a B9 and LEX but was too glitchy.
Now I just use the LEX with the tone dialed back a hair.
