This is the setup I've been using for three years now. I like to think it's "logical" for both necks: LKL raises root;RKL lowers root;LKV lowers third;RKR gives Dom7; RKR on E9 is where it doesn't adversely affect C6 neck, and on C6 neck minors off str9, +5 off str10. The front neck is what Mike Johnson uses(much better than I do!) and the back neck is a Buck Reid/Doug Jernigan hybrid. Like all setups it has some compromises and YMMV. Food for thought. JS

| There are some good ideas there, John. I like how the sixth string lower to F# has its own lever. |

Fascinating. Steel guitar, the final frontier. The copedants of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
I've had all those changes on and off for a while now. You're right that YMMV based on who's playing the guitar. When I first saw Jim Murphy play up close with Hank Thompson I was of course amazed. He played things with his setup I'd never heard before. After he showed me that his copedant setup at the time was almost identical to mine, I then had to believe it must be his amp or perhaps his pickups or some other secret. I do believe that the E9th 7th string full tone raise is sort of a secret and very powerful. Split tuning or half pedaling was another secret that many pros used to great effect. Splits greatly expand what can be done on the E9th tuning. |

| I like what your 4th pedal is doing on C6th. Instead of just a 4th string raise. |

| Ron, find the YouTube of Buck Reid playing "Song for Kendra" or an "original song". He uses this pedal extensively. |

Greg: I like raising the 7th a whole step too.
Interesting, John, but I couldn't live without lowering my B to Bb on a k/l so I can use it with pedals.

Yes I like the logic of having the E-F's (E9th) and the C-C# (C6th) levers both in the LKL position - helps with the muscle memory and also the E-Eb E9th and C-B C6th on RKL !!
very similar to my setup on both necks, albiet with a few different ideas here and there :-} very practical John

| I feel another advantage is having 4 pedals and 2 kls where most non-tricked out D-10s have them! Sitting in is less of a challenge. |
