The same as E9th except down one whole tone.

Use an E9th setup and convert it down. e.g. the first string would be Eb instead of F#, the second string would be C#(Db) instead of Eb, the third string would be F# instead of G#, 4th string D instead of E, etc.

The floor pedals and knee levers would change the same way.

Here are the settings I use, and my Super Pro is tuned to itself. I have a measurement of only about -.5 hertz cabinet drop tuned in D chord and I use a normal "E9th set of strings. The sound is a bit deeper and you hardly ever break strings to. I hope this helps. I used the Korg WT12 and use the method - Leave tuner on D note to tune D - F# - A, then change it to A note to tune strings 1 and 2, E and C#. Then use strings 6 with Pedal B and string 7, E note, and tune the ninth to those to to make a C chord (C, E, G). Let me know if you need any additional help. Remember, each guitar is different and must be tuned to itself as I'm sure you have heard here on the forum.
These settings are in HERTZ.

E +1
C# -2.1
F# -3.1
D 0
A -.5
F# -3.1
E +1
D 0
C -1
A -.5

Pedals
A TO B -3.1
F# TO G 0
D TO E +1

Knees
D TO D# -5
E TO F -.5
D TO Db -2.1
C TO C -1
A TO Ab -2.1
