So many possible changes and only so many knee levers. I've settled on my pedal change trade-offs a few years ago and end up finding lots of uses for the high D to D# change on the C6 tuning. In the tab below I've referenced a few other uses for this pedal. In many cases it acts like the E9th high F# to G change but it can do so much more.

Most C6th set-ups that raise the
1st string do so on Pedal Eight,
thanks to Buddy Emmons.

You can play the same chord voicing
three frets higher on strings 4, 6
and 9 with pedals 5 & 6 down, using
the knee lever that lowers the 3rd
string for the higher 'moving note'.

And... you can also play the same voicing starting at the 12th fret, strings 5,7,9 with the 8th pedal engaged then use the A to Bb knee lever and string 4 as the moving note.

The 1st string D to D# raise works well on pedal 8 if you don't mind playing with two feet, which I do most of the time. In most situations with narrow grips the 8th pedal changes will not interfere with the 1st string raise.

Many of these riffs are available in multiple places up and down the neck. The D to D# raise does have a nice clear and sharp tone to it.

This instrument is enough to drive a person crazy at times!

Recently, besides Raising the D to D# on P-8, I also am doing a ittle experimenting with also Raising the D to D# on my RKR, along with Raising the third from C to C#. That also creates some nice sounds when combined with P5, P6, P7, LKR and LKL. Combinations of one, two or more of these works in certain situations! _ _ _ The first time it gets in the way of a change that I normally use all the time, off it comes! However, as often as I play, that might take some time to find out!

I have lowered string 2 E to Eb or D# on a lever but never thought about raising the D to get the same note.
