Paul was introduced to the product in late 2011 and requested a designed unit for Pedal Steel players. I was curious about the effects they would require, and after several discussions, Paul narrowed it down to a medium-gain Overdrive, Delay, and Reverb. Thus, the PF Steel Dream was created. Since its release in 2012, Paul Franklin has been using it exclusively in the studio and live performances. In recent years, I have been working on upgrading the original Steel Dream by adding some features that would enhance its usability. Paul Franklin agreed to the changes and gave the green light to implement them.
