Thank you for purchasing the "PF Steel Dream" pedal board. 

The PF Steel Dream is a Paul Franklin signature unit. Paul been using the PB-1 pedal board since the 
beginning and we thought it will be great to have a more dedicated Pedal Steel version. 

The PF Steel Dream is that unit. 

I worked closely with Paul choosing the right effects for the "Steel Dream" pedal board. 

The unit contain 3 essential effects that according to Paul would be the perfect on the go unit for live 
and studio application. In addition, just like the PB-1S the Steel Dream also have a Dry line out that will 
allow you to send your signal to where ever you choose with just one click that will bypass the board or 
you can choose it to be your tuner out with.  An effect loop also available for several applications to be 
discussed on the more detailed manual below. 

Please read the manual and get familiar with the unit. 

Do not use an adaptor with a higher output voltage than the specified 9VDC center pin negative. 
An adapter with an AC voltage output should never be used with the unit as it will permanently 
damage the unit.  I recommend using the 

Visual Sound 1 Spot 9V DC Power Supply.
