Today I am working on building an instrumental track for the song "If Jesus Comes Tomorrow" by Owen Mac. Lots of steel pedal guitar parts to nail. The only VST that comes close is Pedal Steel by Impact Soundworks . Typically for steel pedal I get 2 or 3 instances of my instrument set up each with a different bend range. (whole step, half step, 4th). That way you can have a note bend while another holds and it allows you to bend from chord to chord as well. Its the best way I've found to get close the real thing
