Tweaking to improve on this Pedal Dobro tone. I think I’m moving in the right direction!
Is it Pedal Steel or Pedal Dobro
I’m trying a whole new way of changing my pedal steel tone, and why not try to change it into a Pedal Dobro? This is not a MatchBro, an Aura, MXR thingy, BoBro, or a Boss GE-7… New territory!
Dad’s Old Electromuse
Jessica had this old lap steel brought back to life while I was out doing some shows in Texas. One of my Dad’s old instruments. Fun surprise that will come in handy for demo work. She also had a little mini Squier all fixed up for Charlie. Lessons to come!
Big props go out to Pete at Wickham Audio for doing the work. A good friend and excellent amp and guitar repair resource in Thornville, Ohio.

Muskingum Valley Country Music Hall of Fame
I told Jessica one morning last week that I really wished I could go to Hall of Fame day, but I didn’t think there was any way to make it happen…She made it happen, practically forced it, because she loves me. She treated going to Roger’s Auction Barn like it was more important than going to the Ryman Auditorium. That reason and so many more, are why she’s my kind of crazy.

Latest Pedalboard Creation: Pedal Steel, Lap Steel, Slide, and Dobro.

Been putting this together for months… ha. Line 6 Helix technology for all my amp, cabinet, overdrive, phaser, delay, and multiple reverbs… ToneDexter profiles my Dobro to sound like it is being Mic’ed, and polyphonic pitch shifting to drop my Dobro a 1/2 tone for one tune! Oh, and a crap-load of tuners!!!
