Hello Guys,
I just recently bought a Sho-Bud Super-Pro. This is my first all-pull changer. I have been playing a pull-release for years. After adjusting for height, I'm making the change to the Sho-Bud just fine except for two things. First, I have the habit of resting my foot on my two main pedals. This is no problem on my Cherokee pull-release. My B to C# pedal on the Sho-Bud (Jimmy Day) is so sensitive, I can't rest my foot on it at all without getting some raise and it's hard to "roll-off" without thinking about it. Is this an adjustment or do I have to change technique? Second, on the E9, I have some "harmonic" feed-back in the mid range of strings. I have worked with some amp settings (NV400), moved my amp around and changed the strings. It may be a little better, but it's still hanging out there. I believe these are stock pickups. Any suggestions? |

Hi Bryant,
Resting your foot on the pedals is bad technique plain and simple.
Harmonic feedback sounds like you may have the amp volume up pretty hot and not dampening the strings behind the bar as you play which is most noteable around frets 5,7 and 12. |

Hello Dick,
Thanks for the reply. I know I have a lot of bad habits. It's not that I take my afternoon naps with my foot on the pedals, any pass by that pedal sharpens it.
I'll sure work on those things.
Thanks,
Bryant |

| You might consider lowering the pedals a bit-as long as they don't hit the floor you're OK, and it might make it easier to hover without activating them. |
