Dents in isobutane propane canister, still safe?
Accidentally dropped a canister of isobutane propane out of my pocket on the asphalt. Use it with my pocket rocket 2 stove. Several dents, my fingernail catches on them a little and can see the silver metal. Is this still safe to use? Any risk of combustion when lit? Thanks in advance, I’m new to this.

Anyone using a Strymon Iridium?
I'm a fairly new steel player (1y 4mo), I've primarily been practicing at home using the strymon iridium that I use for DI guitar tracking / headphone practice, I've spent a little time trying out different amp / cab combos using the built in IRs and the eq stack on the pedal and have gotten some decent tones but I still feel like it's not quite getting me where I want to go tone-wise.
I wanted to see if anyone else is using the iridium for PSG and if y'all have any wisdom to offer regarding it. I've seen that there are some pedal steel speaker Eminence IRs, for those who have tried them, which ones do you like and do they make a big difference?
The tones I've been getting are not as clear / crystalline as I'd like, even scooping the mids and boosting treble. Much of that may have to do with the GFI-II humbucker in my GFI Ultra, which I'm also considering swapping out for a single coil

E9 Strings Question
When I bought my pedal steel last year the seller told me it was set up for the GHS boomer E9 set (11-38). I changed the strings once and used that exact set but I'm wondering if I can get away with using a different brand in the same gauges without screwing up the set up. The boomers seem to have gone up in price and are getting harder to find, I've also never been a huge fan of GHS strings for my 6 strings. I know that in theory this shouldn't be an issue but I also know that tolerances for string gauges can differ between manufacturers. Anyone with experience willing to offer some advice here?
