That's the idea of what I'm trying to do, Johnie! Maybe about half that extra length, though. Can you share what you used to make it?

I have some 3.25" and 3.5" tone bars, but the 3.25 feels too short and the 3.5 feels too long. I can go into more detail, but that's not the heart of my question

Maybe Iâ€™m taking the wrong approach by trying to make the 7 stop at a G - Iâ€™m thinking it might be possible to do a 1/2/7 string raise with a Wolfâ€™s half-stop to retain a F# to G ...

I feel like the 1/2 raise/6 lower is something that is found on E9 10 strings more often than a U12, and that the D string has something to do with it? Iâ€™ve never had anything but a U12, so my ...

Thanks for your input, everyone!

Iâ€™m leaning towards changing my LKV to get the string 1&2 change, at least temporarily to see how I like it.

For instance, is there anyway I could make my current LKR 1&7 raise into a 1,2&7 raise, but where the 1&7 would stop at a G as a half-stop, while the 7 would remain at G while the 1&2 ...

Iâ€™d love to set up an existing knee lever for a whole step raise on string 1 and a half step raise on string 2. Anyone have any suggestions on how I might modify my current copedent, to lose t ...

i'll have to respectfully disagree about roman numerals - in the nashville numbering system, sure, drop the roman numerals, and if you're playing in nashville or country music, or for producers or son ...

if you can pick any key, these could be the template:

Verse:
I, bVII, bVI, V

I, bVII, bVI, V, v, IV

alternatively:

Db, Cb, Bbb, Ab

Db, Cb, Bbb, Ab, Abm, Gb

CHORUS

Db, Fm, Gb, Ab

having grown up a pianist, i'd feel more comfortable reading music in Db, which is also to say, i don't ...

How many knee levers when reassembled?

Someone was asking about the scratchy pot on one knob, so I made this video to demonstrate:

Jim - do you know if there's a way to cross-post on the forum, rather than start another thread in another section? I considered posting in "Recording" (because people who do a lot of pedal ...

Thanks, Georg. That's very helpful advice, and might save me from fruitlessly pursuing this for too long. I'm going to keep working on it and see if the results are to my liking. When I got this co ...

I'm playing around with a multi-band compressor (customizable toneprint for the TC Electronic HyperGravity pedal) to attempt to slightly compress the entire frequency range (pre-volume pedal), but com ...
