I got my first pedal steel guitar about a month and a half ago, and luckily already have some gigs lined up for the summer!! Very excited. So now gearing up to making a PSG specific board.

Image 1: loose pedals I have hangin around and Image 2: the pedalboard I use in my instrumental math rock band. I've been using the pedalboard in image 2 whenever I play PSG with other people, and I'm having three main problems with that:

- It's cumbersome. I'm not quite sure how to angle it and even bringing it close I have trouble bringing my foot over to the delay pedal. (I've seen a PSG player use more of a rackmount pedalboard on a stand, easily accessible by hand without having to bend over, and that looks pretty attractive to me? Anyone have experience with that?)

- There's a couple settings I love on the Oceans 11... but overall I think I'd like to try something a little less digital sounding, broad in use. I want something more dedicated to a particular sound, granular, analog. Any suggestions?

- I want to keep using this pedalboard for my other band and want something smaller and more PSG specific for the board I use with PSG

Any recommendations, either in the way of setup or specific pedals? Some I think I'll "need" for a band I'm joining would be an EHX freeze and some type of fuzz. Thinking a Fuzz War was as it was played on the band's latest record. I think the Volante has sounded great and so am considering some other space echo sort of tape delay. maybe an El Cap or an RE202. I also really like the tumnus as a light gain stage for the steel and am thinking about getting another one for the new board. I'd *especially* love to hear people's gain/dirt/drive pedal choices for pedal steel. Some other pedals I wanna try include the EHX attack decay and phase 90

I'll experiment with all those loose pedals I have but I don't have much faith in the iron horse, SD-1 or mosfet pedal sounding very good on PSG. SD-1 is one of my faves on guitar but for psg seems to... midboosty. Hope to be proven wrong!!

TLDR: looking for good PSG effects pedals/a way to make using a pedalboard accessible with a PSG

Thank you!! :)
