MvA's pedal steel and dobro gear page

Currently I'm running my stage guitar through a Hilton Infra-red volume pedal, then a Maxon OD-808 overdrive, Boss CE-3 Chorus, and Boss RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay, out to a Peavey Nashville 1-12 amp for smaller venues, and both the 1-12 and a Peavey Nashville 1000 in stereo for larger venues. Here you can see the top of my "Sidekick" rack, which sits at the changer end of my steel. I've modified it with a shelf holding the effects so they're handy for adjustments. It also holds a Peterson V-SAM virtual strobe tuner. The rack has a filtered power strip for the gear, and also holds the transformer for the Hilton pedal. Just open it up, plug in a couple of things and I'm good to go. (I also use a Heet Sound E-bow, which is a hand-held electromagnetic string driver). The Hilton pedals are an enormous improvement over the older potentiometer style- no tone loss or change throughout the full range of the pedal.
