Benado Steel Dream Review

Post by Tony Rankin »

I bought the new version of the Benado Steel Dream. When I purchased it from him, Sage Benado offered a free 45 minute video call lesson to explain the features of this remarkable unit. I did that recently and let me say I was more than pleased!

In short, there’s so much more than just reverb, delay and distortion that this device is capable of giving you.

Sage builds a quality product and he can guide you through the use of it in a clear and concise way. I am more than pleased and I feel it’s the best effects unit I’ve ever used.

Tony, my positive experience with Sage's Steel Dream II was the same as yours.
I found the 45-minute online tutorial to be invaluable in unlocking the unit's immense potential for shaping and coloring tone.

I've had the original Steel Dream for a few years and recently purchased the Steel Dream 2. Excellent product. I did the tutorial with Sage today. He extended the 45 minute tutorial and spent over an hour and a half with me. He was very personable and helpful. I highly recommend this pedal!

STEEL DREAM II

Post by Michael Boyd »

I purchased a STEEL DREAM II from Sage Benado. In addition to this being a great set of pedals, the purchase included a video tutorial with Sage. I recently completed my tutorial. Sage worked with me for at least 90 minutes and was very thorough and easy to follow in getting the STEEL DREAM II set up to achieve maximum performance.

Sage was great to work with and I would recommend anyone needing a steel pedal to inquire of this one and its maker.
