What to do with 4th and 5th pedals

Dan Najvar · From: McDade, TX

I have a Sierra S-10 5p x 4k. Pretty standard copedant except I don't know what to do with the 4th and 5th pedals Confused

The 4th pedal raises the 6th string and the 5th pedal raises the 5th and 6th strings. I don't how much the raises are supposed to be. 1/2step...? All suggestions are more than welcome as I will try anything to start using these pedals in some songs on stage. Any cool licks to accompany your suggestions would be equally awesome!!

Move ABC to pedals 2,3,4

Make 1st pedal G#-G on 3 and 6

Make 4th the Franklin

Most guys with 4 pedals would do ABC plus one of the two choices above, you can do both
