Hi folks, thanks for all your replies... I tried using them, and although they add a good flavor of pedal if you needed that in a pinch, for the particular type of solo I was looking for, they wouldn't work... Likewise with the Dobro, if you wanted to use them for atmosphere, it works great, but not as a solist per se... I'm glad that those that didn't know there was a dobro in there found the resonator guitar... I always thought it was a dobro...
