Thank you Tony. I have a Para Acoustic I used for dobro and will try it too. Thanks for telling me about this one.

So much gear out there!!

HEY MARTY. I'VE BEEN LOOKING INTO AN AGUILAR TONE HAMMER PEDAL.IT'S GEARED TOWARD BASS GTR BUT I BET IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR STEEL. A BUDDY OF MINE WHO PLAYS FOR JOHN MICHAEL MONTGOMERY USED ONE THE OTHER DAY IN THE STUDIO AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT SOUNDED !

I'm running my MCI through my FX (w/a buffer in front) into my Princeton 65 watt and/or Rumble 200. The amps are run as my own monitor and/or backline depending on the show. There's a DI built into the FX rack to send to the house/monitors as necessary. I do not use the verb in the Princeton as I prefer the verb in my FX system. The issue is always twofold: Do I like what I'm hearing, and does the crowd like what they're hearing. Sometimes we have control of both, sometimes one or the other, and then sometimes.....

I used this device for a couple of gigs where I could not have an amp onstage. It works pretty well if your band is using IEM`s. The world of IR's was completely new to me so there was a steep learning curve.I keep it in my seat as a spare in case my amp goes down when not in use.

The Aguilar and Atomic devices look VERY attractive. I’ve read their manuals and thinking I’ll HAVE to try them. Lol

Thanks for all of the help folks!!
