    I picked it up in the big charity sell of that ran last year. I don't think there is any thing else that comes close. I have not come close to realising its full potential as there is a lot to learn and you need to understand how a real steel guitar is played to get the full advantage of such a sophisticated package.

    That said even straight out of the box its going to smoke any factory library pedal steel.  Its good for rock too, I have got some useful Steve Howe type sounds by putting it through Amplitube or Guitar Rig.

    I don't own Wavelore's Pedal Steel but know some KVRers who do and they love it. I admit, I've listened to the demos a number of times over the years and am just waiting for a reason to purchase that library. 

    Sound on Sound review it and gave it 5 stars: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/dec09/articles/wavelorepedalsteel.htm . Search here, at KVR and VI-Control and you'll find there are a lot of very happy Wavelore Pedal Steel customers. Sooner or later, I'll probably join their ranks.

    THe important thing to remember is that you need to learn to play it. You have to get inside the head of a steel player, to think like they think and play like they play, and learn how to emulate that on your midi keyboard.

    I saw a demo video on one of those steel VST's and the guy was pretty amazing, and very adept with it.

    I got a demo and played with it. I found it difficult to work on my DAW at the time.

    +1 on Wavelore for its sounds,
    As others have said, the keyswitching and controllers are the key to AUTHENTIC sounds, spend time with the manual and playing with it.
    Yes think like a steel player because the library thinks like a steel guitar , LOL, AFA neck positions, bends and the like .

    Well a real pedal steel has a very deep learning curve too.  The Wavelore does take some learning but there is nothing out there AFAIK that comes remotely close to it.  It is the very best steel guitar emulator going.
