RE: pedal steels

 i've seen Robert Randolph only on TV and in addition to a ton of 
overdrive,
he seemed to be using a wah pedal as well to create those vocal sounds.

while talking about pedal steels and lap steels, does anyone know the stuff
robert rich does with his pedal steel (e. g. "liquid air" off "below 
zero")?
how can i get this type of singing vowely quality? do i have to use a pedal
steel or could i use any other guitar for that type of sound? stupid
question, but i am no guitar player inthe traditional sense of the word...

any recommendations as far as stompboxes are concerned for this kind of
application?
