I have a JCH on the bench I can't get the B's to travel far enough on the first pedal to reach C#. I have moved the mount in the bell crank and in the changer up and down with no sucess. Any suggestions?
Thanks |

| Probably need to back off the screw that adjusts the pedal stop to allow more travel. |

Thanks Jerry but it appears to have full travel. I will check it again.

Well, I don't know then. That change is well within the range. If it's not the pedal stop, then something else in the linkage is stopping the travel before it gets to the desired note.
I'm not sure how JCH's pedal stops are arranged, but it should be something like the one in this photo: The screw I refer to is at the front rail in the pedal cross rod ass'y. Upper left of the photo.

Thanks to Lane,Lynn and Jerry my problem is solved. The 3rd pedal was so far out of adj is was binding the 1st return. All of the help led me to this and I can't thank you guys enough. Maybe some of this will sink in to my thick skull
someday.
Thanks again for this forum. |

Chuck: I believe your problem is without a solution. Now, if you could just send me that JCH and I'll find a spot for it...

| Roger you would hear of man killed over pedal steel. My buddy loves this steel and I don't blame him. These guitars are very well built. The problem I was having was from operator error and no fault of the steel. Which is usually the norm for me. |
