I use the Day setup for a couple of reasons. First, the "inside-lift" rocking motion is most comfortable to me. My 2nd ax (a P/P) is set up to Emmons, and after a couple of years, I still don't like it. Another reason I like the Day setup is that the "home position" is closer to the center of the guitar (my left foot is almost always on the A&B, even when I'm not using them). I don't use the C pedal nearly as much, so I like it on the outside, and like not having my legs "splayed" so much. |

Day Setup! Started that way and had no reason to change. Easier for me to lift my big toe than to lift my little one. Too old to change now! Ken |

Buzz Evans has a 10 foot pedals/10 knee pedals set up in the JIMMY DAY E9th position!! Being that he named his first son after Jimmy, I don't think he will change it any time soon!! |

EMMONS but I play more like Day.I also had the E to F# on LKR for about 20 years but I now have it back as pedal C because I needed the knee lever for other pulls. I would say most players around here have the Day setup. |

EMMONS I was fortunate to see Jimmy Day perform a few years back at the St. Louis Convention and unless I was seeing things Jimmy was stompin' on the paedals with both feet at the same time. It was cool to watch. Has anyone else seen him play that way or is it a common thing to do? |

Day....My first pedal steel was a new 1958 Gibson Multiharp with 8 strings. I put an E7h tuning on it, with E being the highest pitch string. I had never heard of chromatic tunings in those days. I set it up by what I heard on the radio and records, and it turns out to be like the Day set up. I have never changed. Don't think I ever will. ------------------ |

I played a Day set up for 29 years and changed to an Emmons set up 2 months ago. I find the Emmons set up to be more comfortable on my ankle. It was not a big deal to acomplish it. I changed it on a week day and played 5 weekends in a row 4 1/2 hours a night Friday and Saturday. Thats all it took to burn it in. |

Emmons on E9, original Jimmy Day setup on C6! JD Sillito, I think using both feet is a quite common thing on C6 if you have that setup. Jimmy´s "Golden Steel Guitar Hits" is my favorite C6 record right now to play along with, and I noticed several times pedals 5 and 7 are used together. I never think that much about chord theory, must be some 13th kind of thing. |

Billy Easton: I keep seeing coincidences here and couldn't help but note what Bill Stafford said about your new CD. Then I posted here about Curly Chalker using the Day set up and then your post about using the DAY setup. Looks like the circle is still unbroken. Jimmy once told me he wished he could work C6th like Curly and I'm thinking: Yeah, Right !!  That after Liberty Drive and his version of Remmington Ride were leaving me in the dust in a failed attempt to PLAY LIKE DAY !! Regards, Paul |

I always used the Day setup for years , it is more comfortable. But now use the Emmons setup cause when I sit in on another players guitar, it usually is Emmons setup.soooooo I switched. Joe Henry- I saw Jimmy Day play many times even way back when he worked with Willie Nelson, when Nelson was getting nowhere. |
