| Common practice is to attack the strings with the volume pedal between 1/3 and 1/2 volume only. Try this and report back - I’m guessing the distortion won’t be present set this way. | |

| Very cool! I’m so curious about the huge red button taped on the steel!? Also, I had no idea Lanois played country pedal steel at one point. You’d never know it to hear him. | |

| Is Aubrey’s steel a custom Sho-Bud from the factory, or aftermarket? Or is it a Bud in logo only? At any rate, it sounds just incredible! His touch and tone is unreal. | |
