When pedals were a new idea, and dinosaurs roamed the earth, weren't there some alternatives besides identical pedals in a row? For example I think I saw something like oddly shaped ABC pedals that could be operated independently with one foot in one place.
Do you have pictures of something like this? |

Could it be a Multi-Kord?
I also think I read something on this forum explaining that some early ShoBuds had the ABC pedals real close together to allow the player to engage all three with one foot.

That one looks like the pedals are on the wrong end unless it is made for a lefty.RS

| Your post reminded me of something I thought I'd read a long time ago,so I went looking. In the may 1981 issue(6-7) of steel guitarist magazine, on page 68 bottom left, is a picture of the great Chuck Wright,and behind him is a guitar he built for Vance Terry that had a double row of tiered pedals. I will try to scan and post, or maybe Joe or David Wright have a picture, or some insight, Take care, John |

| I was thinking more of the old Sho-Buds where the ABC pedals were tight enough that you could hit them with one foot. Did some of those have weird pedal shapes too? |
