Here's a shot at the intro to Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile on my homemade lap steel. The first attempt is through a plain Boss DS-1 with a little delay and reverb. The second attempt is through a Boss DS-1 that I modified to take out some of the sizzle. The knobs are set to the same level on both pedals and the modded one has more volume and better crunch IMHO. The wah pedal was rescued from a guy who was going to throw it away. Some minor repairs put it back in action for free. Sorry for the sloppy playing. I started working the song out two nights ago and it is stuck in my head REALLY bad... Just had to do something with it.

Hi Mike.
You've really captured the feel of it. That lap steel really seems to be bringing out a lot in you.

Turtlehead and James - Thanks for the comments and great discussion. You know, I might just make an asbestos lap steel. That way I can light it on fire and reuse it later. We could all be happy!!! - LOL
