Richard Sinkler- good move! With P7 on RK and boowah on LK , and your left foot on usual P5 and P6, you can just about play all C6 without moving your left foot. Just like on E9. Pretty good.
I used to use Day setup, it is more comfortable for me, and I think faster with the ankle, but most all the guitars are Emmons setup, so I switched too.
Another reason is, I don't use Pedal C on E9, I get the E to F# on a knee lever to take care of that. Then I have pedal 3 available for the C6 neck.
A Player can get used to either way, whichever is more comfortable to him or her....al  [This message was edited by Al Marcus on 20 January 2002 at 12:46 PM.] |

| Emmons, I wanted to try the Day set up a few years back, but B.S. talked me out of it. |

My setup is Emmons --- but only by accident !! I had a single pedal for several years which pulled both the B and G#. When I purchased a steel with more pedals, I then had my left pedal raise the B only, the second pedal raised both B and G#, and the 3rd pedal raised the G#. It took me 3 pedals to have what we now have with 2. I played maybe 15 years before I changed to standard A - B - C. So I would say mine evolved !!!

Day. My first guitar was setup that way when I got it. I don't think I would want it any other way.

When the split pedalswere evident, I put the split on my old electraharp the way I assumed it was done, mainly for comfort.
Years later, I heard it was the Day split.
When I used to teach pedal guitar I would give the student the option. I'd say "put your foot on the floor, is it easier to lift your little toe or your big toe?" Try it. I've had Sho-bud, Emmons, and now Franklin. all with the Day setup. Dale Thomas

Emmons. The first guitar I had was setup Day style, but it never felt "natural" to me, until I switched to Emmons.

Gene, I have purchased several used guitars and worked on many and I have never seen one with the C6th backwards like mine so I assumed I was the only ht6C player in the world.

Emmons
I should add that I didn't know there was such a thing until I played a friend of mines guitar. He uses the Day split. Without knowing it was an experience to remember... or forget...
