Anybody play pedal steel thru a Combo 300?

Post by RichRice » Fri Jan 28, 2022 12:59 pm

I was given an old Combo 300, with a BW in it.. haven't played anything but guitars through it yet.. It's pretty heavy for me, I generally play much lighter gear now that I'm getting old.. anyhow...

I got to thinking it might be a good platform for pedal steel.. I have a second BW 15" that could be added, to make it a 2X15" rig.. anybody used these before? Impressions, good or bad? BTW, I'm not currently gigging, so weight isn't really an issue for me..

Thought it might be an interesting topic. :idea:

So plug into it and wail, they you tell us what it sounds like. Seems like a reasonable amp for this.

I have played guitar since 1966... And I still suck. I would love to play pedal steel, but I know better than to frustrate myself. A zillion pedal steel players with Peaveys can't be wrong.

One of these days I'll have to try it, yeah. The amp came into my garage, and has not moved.. lol I started playing guitar in 1962, I hear ya. Been dabbling with various steel guitars for a long time, but I'm still not a pro level player by any measure. I bought a Vegas 400, years ago, but it had been tampered with.. never got it right. If I get to feeling strong, I'll drag it in the house, try to play through it. Amp is quite impressive with electric guitar. Love those big old BW 15" speakers. ;)
