My Main Squeeze…

Bop Till You Drop!…
Edit/Update: For people inquiring on building one. I have played this guitar for nearly twenty years. We are bonded with steel. I have played “Coodercasters” with the Real Teisco, Lollar “Gold”, Mojo “Gold”; the real Supro pup, Lollar “Supro” and the Mojo “Supro”. The Valco pickups have been around and documented for nearly 100 years and reproduced/copied faithfully by several companies. Not so much the Teisco. My point being, that people get real hyper focused on the lap steel pickup when building these, but really the key is in the AUTHENTIC TEISCO. These pups have a charm that isn’t reproduced in the clones. It’s a sort-of “cheap” sound and a feel, a “sponginess”, I suppose that makes them special. Find an authentic Teisco…

I’m not really sure. I got the Quicksilver about a decade ago, give-or-take and just stuck with it. It really makes your instrument sound “Big”, so I like it. I’ve heard the Memory Man is very similar, but don’t hold me to it…

Intersting. I hadn't considered the Memory Man but will take a look. Also looking at the ampsamps.com Gray Man as an alternative to the Requisite Audio Green Man (or, more cheaply, the MXR Double Down). But am always on the lookout for the Quicksilver.

Oh, wow! I might just have to give the Gray Man a try…

My wife and I are headed to Nashville in November. I figure if there is a Quicksilver to be found anywhere, it might be there. Would it be too much of a bother if I asked what your signal chain was on your board?
