Need explanation of another term I see. What does "X" raise(s) and "Y" lower(s) mean? Where "X" = single, double, or triple; and "Y" = single, double, or triple. I know they're talking about the pedals or levers and what they're capable of. In some cases the raises are the same as the lowers. Is the number of strings affected, or maybe the maximum number that can be affected at once by any given pedal/lever? If a particular guitar has for example "double raises and double lowers", does that mean at most, a pedal/lever may only raise two strings at once, or maybe lower at most 2 strings? Also meaning that same guitar could never be set so a pedal/lever could never affect 3 strings at once in either direction? Just need a little clarification on the specifics to understand the meaning.

| Chuck, it's not the number of strings that can raise or lower. It's the number of raises or lowers you can have on a single string. Specifically, it is the number slots on a single changer finger for raise and lower pull rods. So double raise/double lower means you can have two raises and two lowers on a given changer finger and its corresponding string. I believe a double raise/single lower will handle a standard E9 with 3 pedals and 4 knee levers. More elaborate setups might require more raises and lowers than that on some strings. |
