Hello

I have this beautiful Bud which I love but as the pedals are more in a middle position, the left knee lever is hardly usable as it is very near the end of the body.
Here is the guitar.




Here is a picture of the ABC pedals racks AND the left knee lever.
I would like to move the lever in order to have it like between the A and B pedals. Are there any possibilities the adapting kits are available ?

What would you guys do to modify that ?.



Cheers from Montreal

The Lever is on the rack that it is pulling....so you can move that rack closer to the A pedal, only enough where when the A pedal is engaged, A pedal rack barrel; almost hits the knee lever rack.
No it Won't go between the A and B pedal racks; not enough room.

There's nothing to stop you having a knee lever in your preferred position (red X on image) operating the existing rack remotely (green line on image)

Thank you,

I was thinking about an extension rod that would allow me to move the lever like 6 inches to the right while leaving the rack where it is now.
Are there any parts available for that ?

Cheers
Remi
