"Exellent! I'll just go electronic then. Next big hurdle is to figure out my unit: Peavey UltraVerb II. I'm sure there is way more to it than what I've managed to hit on in my search for a good setting. So far I found two: #123 and…"

Wanky reverb tank

Hi steelers! Does anybody have any thoughts as to what would cause my Session 400's reverb tank to feedback? When I use it, it starts feeding back with a very low howl and gradually gets a bit louder until it's more audible. Then I kill it with a simple nudge until it builds up again. I stop it long before we go into Jimi mode with a little push or soft kick. Not a big issue since I have a Peavey UltraVerb II which is fine if I can get by without the second channel. I've had this looked at…See More

"That's right, it's over-the-ear. Haven't seen the neck one either. I was looking at the Crown Electronics unit but settled on the Shure and don't regret my decision. It's comfy and useful with great tone. Made in China…"

"I m thinking the over the ear type is what I meant, the neck mic is very old design that, to be honest, I haven't seen for a while. I m liking your approach to shopping! Ray"

"Hi Ray,..Never tried a "neck mic". But I think this Shure over-the-ear a la Garth Brooks type etc. mic is working fairly well. It's useless in the wind though. That's where I need a screen for the element. Otherwise it…"

"Thanks for the reply Howard..This singing while steeling is starting to come to me slowly. It sure takes concentration. But I've since found, now that I'm right into it, that the Shure headsets are pretty good. I have the PGX 4…"

Hi steelers:

It's been so long since I've checked my page that I almost just dropped off the radar. Thanks to Hank for posting me as Profile chosen this week. I still don't have any clips I'm ready to share (The ones I would WANT to share,..) but rest assured when I come across a few, up they go. Lately, I haven't been playing the D-10s. I DO have a new SD-10 GFI Ultra which I love very much. I can't say enough great things about this instrument. The most noticeable feature…
