| Never. I have my "C" pedal on the B6 side of my tuning on a knee lever and never have to take my right foot off the volume pedal. |

| I take my foot off of the volume pedal sometimes, but I never use my right foot on the pedals. |

Never use the right foot for pedals when playing a gig. But, I have fooled around with it a little at home.

| I doubt I could get thru a swing tune on C6th and not use both feet unless I made a conscience effort. |

I do occasionally, I haven't figured out any other way to use pedals 5 and 7 at the same time.

Same as Darvin and Crowbear.
With the S-14, I am working to see how I can do more with one foot,
But still want both a lot. |

That's why I have the changes found on pedal 6 (the C6 or in my case B6 "C" pedal) on a knee lever.
I also have pedal 7, which even on a universal, would normally only be a B6 pedal, in pedal slot #4, where it can also be used on the E9 side of the tuning.[This message was edited by Mike Perlowin on 13 October 2005 at 05:54 AM.] |

All the time...on my old sho-bud 8+2 w/G on top of my C6 neck.
Never on my D12 Dekely 10+6.....don't need to.
I'd imagine if I was a U12 player, I'd be doing it alot. |

Sometimes. I have my pedal 9 that turns my C6 neck into a G dobro tuning (along with RKR which is actually the pedal 7 moved to a lever) and I take my right foot off the volume pedal so I am tempted to use the volume pedal while playing the "Dobro" side of my steel. I don't need to use two feet for playing normal C6th stuff.

I occasionally use two feet. Years ago I used two often, but with a full knee lever complement, it's much less necessary.

You may already know this, but just to say, most C6 tunings have a D note on top. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to use pedal 7 to get the B and D notes. You can lower string 3 and to get the B and pick string one to get the D note. I realize that you also have a string four A note which slightly changes the voicing is you don't avoid it. Also, the pedal 5,7 combo has a nicer sound to it, probably because of the string guages and or proximity of the B,D notes. But basically, you don't need two feet for pedals 5,7 if use have a D on top.

| I'd like to (sometimes), but I don't, only because I haven't yet mastered the technique of putting my foot back onto the volume pedal without the volume going Whomp! So I'd welcome any tips and tricks on how to get on and off the volume pedal smoothly. |

Hey Jim, Moon is about as smooth as they come, getting from volume to pedal and back.
Everytime I ask him about it, I get the same answer. "Do I do that"? you know Moon.[This message was edited by Curt Shoemaker on 13 October 2005 at 11:13 AM.] |

...(B) ... Recently had a lesson with Burke Carroll on the B6 "side" of the Universal using both feet on pedals 5 and 7. Certainly haven't mastered it but am working on it.

Tally: A. Never 6
B. Sometimes 7
C. Alot 5
I'm surprized how even this is. There just isn't anything predictable about steel guitarists
Anyone else willing to post on this?
Thanks so much for the responses |

That's why I have pedal 6 on a knee lever. |
