  • Thanks for the comments and the challenge, I did post some samples of big wedgie through an amp simulator direct to computer with no other effects (except reverb) and demonstrating the tabasco bottle "steel". Hope that gives you an idea of the sound. Just cuz I can make a passable steel, doesn't mean I can play a passable steel, but I enjoy it.

  • WOW! Nicely thought out build! Let's HEAR it!
