    I use the moyo. He sells on reverb. It’s small, it has a sealed pot, it’s hand made by one guy in Colorado. It’s bombproof. It’s also $139. It’s a pot string type.

    With the market now flooded with cheap Rogue lap steels and the like, I bet in a few years we’re gonna see a real resurgence of steel guitar (both types.) I think its good for the art form. I watched a video called “Legends od steel guitar,” and in it Don Helmswas an old guy playing along with a few others. He was the only one on a non pedal (Gibson Console Grande,” and it was the best sound os all of them. You could hear the wood. I LOVE pedal steel, but sometimes its missing that warmth of the Hank Williams stuff….it tends toward a more aluminum sound, and for a reason. Peace.

    Pots should have a lube port. You can drill them if you are careful. Any powered component risks ground hum. Behringer make a solid, cheap passive pedal, whose design includes a mechanical clevis instead of a string. Poor quality control put the pivot in the wrong position. A Rock musician wouldn't notice. I fixed mine.

    I don't know if it's because you're recording it away from the source but that may be the worst tone I've ever heard. Pretty sure it doesn't sound that way closer to the source

    Livin' in the southernmost state of Brazil you can't imagine how great it felt to become the owner of what was then the only PSG in the whole state. Guess what it was? Yeah. Played and recorded professionally for all these years. Got it in 1989, only recently upgraded for a Pro1 that came in pieces, all wrecked up.

  • @PetrisonRocha
    @PetrisonRocha Рік тому

    I have a budget active volume/wah pedal from Joyo and the tone suck is very audible when volume is switched on. Fortunately it can be disabled and then it works as a true bypass wah, this is what I bought it for. For volume I bought a vintage Ibanez VL10, passive, high impedance, and it's working great at the end of my pedal chain.

    The title to this video cracked me up. I personally hate when people bad mouth student models too because most of them do what they are suppose to do just fine. I had a GFI sm10 3x4 and it sounded and played every bit as good as the GFI pro models and actually I liked the tone better than a steel I had that was thousands more. It’s more about the person behind the instrument anyway, a la the video where Terry crisp plays a Carter starter and it sound killer.

  • @taylordiclemente5163
    @taylordiclemente5163 Рік тому

    This may be an unusual question, but would these pedals designed for steel work well for a standing "Spanish" style electric guitar player? I play a strat through a Twin Reverb without distortion and I seek to emulate steel tones. Thank you in advance.

    Kinda had the same experience learning the lap steel first, but I had Duesenberg palm benders on mine, which basically do the same thing as the A and B pedals on a pedal steel. Definitely a good way to ease into pedal steel

    I have a Maverick. It may be a starter, but I reckon it's a great instrument. I know I will outgrow the 3x1 setup, but I'm happy that this is what I'm starting with, because I've played a couple of other starters, and I wouldn't feel okay with taking them out for a gig, whereas I would be totally fine taking out the Maverick. Pickup is quite nice. It all helps motivate more practice as well when it doesn't suck to play and maintain.

    • @cincinnatipedalsteel4347
      @cincinnatipedalsteel4347 Рік тому

      I’ve not played a maverick but I started with a gfi student model 3x4 and it was great. The thing I’ve pretend about the steel community is this; a lot of guys just regurgitate what they’ve heard others say without any first hand experience or when they don’t have a clue. Personally I believe better equipment makes you feel more confident and therefore you play better but that being said, unless you learn the techniques and nuances necessary to achieve lay our instrument it doesn’t matter if you’re playing a $600 starter steel or a $16000 Franklin, Zum or Emmons, etc.
