I use the standard 4th pedal a lot. Wouldn't think of changing it.This topic is almost 4 years old!! ------------------

I use it a lot, too - I love what it can do two frets below zero in conjunction with P5.The only thing is - I now have my As to B on a centrally-mounted vertical lever, and it's even easier to use in the new location. I'm still vascillating about what to do with P4, though. I did have it raising 10 to D, and raising 6 to F - that is a great 'pull', but I have that on a knee as well. For all I use P8 (seldom!) I could reassign that one, too, but I find it a difficult pedal to reach. It may just collect cobwebs as it has to date on my Emmons... RR |

I've been experimenting moving that pedal around to different locations for a few years now. At the moment I have it on RKR that I split with my LKL (that lowers both A's to G#)...this is how I get my A's to Bb raise. I really don't mind the small amount of extra tension on KL's that go outward. I'm able to use all of the "A changes" (G#,A,Bb, & B) with pedals 5 & 6 with no problem.On the pedal 4 spot, I raise the middle C to D which I love having there![This message was edited by Rick Schmidt on 29 May 2006 at 11:06 AM.] [This message was edited by Rick Schmidt on 29 May 2006 at 11:08 AM.] |

I have A to B on RKR, with a half stop at B flat provided by the pulls on E9 neck. It works only the higher A string. I use it a lot. |

Well, once again I'll try to interest someone in the way I setup my C6, if I have one!
==LL=LV=LR=4=5=6=7=8=RL=RR========
D_______C___________Eb____________
E_______Eb___F____________________
C_D____________________B__________
A_B__B_________Bb_________________
G__________F#____________G#_______
E_______F____Eb______F____________
C_________________C#______________
A____B_________Bb_________________
F__________F#_____E_______________
C__________D______A_______________
I've used this setup for years! I never use the #4 & #8 (1-tone) Raise much either, but; it's always there if needed, yet; out of the way! Most of the other changes are part of Bill Stafford's setup and some are my own!

Using pedal 4 with the whole tone raises can be heard often in Herby Wallace's playing, and seen in the many courses he's written for C6th. steve t[This message was edited by steve takacs on 29 May 2006 at 06:21 PM.] |

. . . you get a nice fat major 7 by playing strings 4, 6,7 and 9.
Don, This is the same nice fat major 7 (open voicing w/5th dropped an octave) that you get 'up 7 frets' on strings 10, 9, 8 and 6. Also, if you lower the 4th a half-tone, it'd be 'up 3 frets' on strings 9, 8, 7 and 4, with pedal 8 and 'lower 4th a half-tone'. ~Russ
