I currently have My E' levers split on different legs. I use B pedal with my E lower Lever (on my right leg at the moment) all the time. My problem is that I am going back to an Emmons setup with E's on the Left and I imagine I will have trouble hitting just the B pedal while using the E lever. Keep in mind this is for B and C pedal licks where I will be rocking onto the C pedal. Is this more comfortable than I am anticipating or is it a pain in the but? Thanks

It's a slightly awkward move, but practice makes it easier.
I can see such a move having uses on your Emmons, but it seems less useful if you move to An all pull guitar.

What is your rationale for changing away from e lower on the rk??? I know everyone has a philosophy with respect to their e knee lever placement, but if you currently have your e lower on rkl, maybe rkr is a better place for it...?

Well I have always had the E's on my left leg until I bought my most recent guitar, which is an emmons push pull. It is a hassle and a half to change the copedent on this guitar so I just got used to it that way. I am now moving back to an all pull guitar and It has my familiar Emmons setup on it. I guess if its too much trouble being on the left knee for me I can easily change the cope on this particular all pull (Mullen RP)

For years I had my E's on my left leg then switched to my right. It only took a very short time for me to get used to it. It ain't no thang.

Forever I had my E's on the right and moved them to the left a couple of years ago. No issues with using the B pedal with the LKR. My joints are 40 years older than yours. I do like the E lower on LKR and not on the same side as the volume pedal. It all works.
