I checked out this Utube vid. Just like a lot of steelers he uses a Pog, Ebow, dist, delay, chorus, reverb, wa-wa, fender twins, Goodrich, etc.

HE CAN PLAY COUNTRY if he needs to.
He understands the use of midrange for pedal steel.
He understands tunings and how to use them.
He plays to a different crowd, but the guy is a burner.

I like it. He is opening the eyes and ears to people who do not listen to country steel. Everyone wins here. Good job RR

I've seen him on late night shows using Fender Twins, but I believe his amp of choice is a Fuchs.

Here's the video Mr. Behm was talking about. He does a quick country style run around 6:30 in the video.

Here's another by DunlopTV. On the webpage there is a list of the exact pedals he's using... except they couldn't identify the Peterson strobe tuner.

Having been at one of his shows last summer, I can tell you that he was using a combo of the Fuchs 150 watt head/cab, a super reverb, and what looked like a tweed twin/cab stack.

He absolutely has my vote. Way to go Randolf.

..........so when is someone gonna invite him to Scotty's or the Dallas Steel convention?

Tony, I think the answer would have to be...."when will RR be able to find time to make some of the psg shows." From the looks of his itinerary,it appears he's kinda busy tto say the least...Stormy

No need to look very far Ransom, they are in this same thread in links from posts four and six above yours, from Chris and Brad!

I'm sure he's very capable of many styles, and hope to hear some examples, but the one he's famous for hasn't done a lick for me yet.

RR is a steel guitar monster and his band is full of top notch players too

At the Giant Eagle today, my checkout gal was a very soft-spoken Black girl. I told her that she had to speak up, as I was a retired musician who had sat in front of a drummer for too many years. She asked me what instrument I played, and when I told her, she exclaimed, "Like Robert?" Cool!

Mark Eaton · Post by **Mark Eaton** » 6 Jun 2012 3:04 pm

Very interesting John.

I wonder if anyone has ever stood in line at a Giant Eagle that is a steel guitarist and mentioned it to a checker and they said, "like Buddy?'

Were there any justice in this world it should happen, but winning the Lottery might have better odds.
