In the spirit of shameless self-promotion, I offer you all a web page describing my current pedal steel copedents. Feel free to tear down my massive ego. Cool

Seriously, I'm happy to answer any questions about my choices in setting up these 3 different steel guitars. It's been an interesting journey these past few years. Very Happy

bOb, here is my idea, On your ETS steel: Put the 2nd string D# to C# change on the RKL along with the E to D# changes..that's the way Bud Charlton did it...now on the Po pedal, put the changes you have on the ZB...G's on string 3 and 6...BTW, your set-up is great without changing anything

I'm afraid that would make the RKL too stiff for this old leg, Brad. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Also, I don't need the G# to G on the ETS because I can get the G with the tunable split on LKR.

Hi b0b,

Nice copedents!

I see you've still got a version of your LKV E - F# on your S8 D6/G (but with D - E), but have the more common B - Bb on your E9.

How was changing the copedent on the ZB? I was very tempted to buy it myself but was a little worried about my lack of technical expertise. They sure look great, those older, natural ZBs.

Greg

The ZB is very hard to work on because the mechanism is nothing like a modern pedal steel. I wouldn't want to try to change it again.
