This is the copedent my Mullen Discovery came with. I'm new to PSG, so anyone have any thoughts on this? Is it better to learn on a certain copedent like the "standard emmons"?
Curious to hear yalls thoughts/opinions.
Thanks. |

| This is as close to at least one version of 'standard' as you can get. I wouldn't touch it. Anything you don't use, don't use. The day will come when you discover what it is for. There is nothing odd there. Now is the time to play the thing and not worry about the setup. |

Agreed!
I've been playing that exact set-up for a long time.

| +1 to Jon, Lee and Larry's comments. Leave it alone and play it. Best of luck with your steel guitar journey. You have an excellent instrument to work with. Would that I had something this nice when I started 40+ yrs. ago. |

+1 with everyone so far. I don't think you could get a more "standard Emmons" setup if you tried! And I love that my friends at Mullen are delivering split E's from the factory 
Also...speaking as someone who wasted a lot of hours messing with copedents the first few months after getting my Mullen rather than just playing, give yourself at least a year with this configuration before even considering changing anything. Until you've logged in many hours practicing/learning/arranging/playing you won't know what to change or why. Once you get to that point, you can properly evaluate the changes you have and how crucial each is to your voice 
With this copedent, you may never change anything!
Have fun!

| Yep, that is my exact core E9 setup. Exactomundo. You can play that for a lifetime. |

| This is a great set up, but even better if you switch LKR and RKR, in my opinion. It's nice to be able to get the E lower and 2 string lower together, but not necessary. |

I, too, would raise the 7th a tone instead of lowering the 6th but, even as it is, it's as close to the modern E9 'standard' as it gets.
The foregoing remarks are, of course, made with the understanding that I think it should all be reversed and turned into the 'Day' set-up.
But that's just me....(and a couple of other guys).
