I don't like the word "copedant".. Just would like to tell you a few of my odd changes. First I use an E on my second string.I pull it down a full tone in two steps Eb-D on LKR.. Thats right 3 E's on the guitar. Also pull first string up a full tone on LKL. On pedal 4 I pull 3rd string down a full tone.. A LOT of guitars have a hard time with this one... You need the right changer... many won't get it down low enough. Pedal 5 pulls the 6th string down a full tone. This is fairly common on a knee,but I have never seen it on a pedal other than on my guitars. I use it a LOT. I also plan on getting a #6 pedal on my new Carter before much time passes,and that will be to the LEFT of the #1 pedal and will drop both G# a half.... I also drop both B's a half on a vertical..I know, I know,nothing really earth shaking here,but still a little odd compared to most E9 set ups...... bob

Bob, you're into one of my favorite pulls with the 1st pedal dropping the G#'s a half..I use it all the time in conjunction with 2nd pedal, B's to C#'s right next to it...Works great in blues and classic rock songs. Been using that pull since 1968...I got it from Sonny Curtis of the Jones Boys...Great pull. Every guitar I have has that setup.

FRED

Fred.. its not on there yet,as the new Carter I ordered is not here and I didn't order it with that change,but it will be the first change I make to the guitar within a few weeks of getting used to it!. I should have had them put it on,but money was getting tight so I cheaped out a bit. I did have it on a PRO III that I just sold,but it was on the #7 pedal, a little to far off the beaten path to get much out of it. John Fabian at Carter Guitars told me when I put it on to put it left of the #1 pedal and thats where she's gonna go. I have an old
MSA s 10 5+4 and have a spare pedal and rods.. enough to add another pull.. and I am planning on putting it on that guitar also. bob
