I am playing the Emmons set-up and am doing a lot of minor chord practicing at the moment. The A pedal positions are breaking my ankle. When I play my A+F majors it's no problem, because when I can kick my knee out, I get a good comfortable angle on the A pedal. Also, when I play A + B stuff, the pedals are comfortable. So, I don't want to do anything too drastic, but when I have to keep that knee in it's really rolling my ankle. So I am wondering:

Can I adjust the A pedal so it bottoms out quicker? Then I won't have to roll my ankle so far over to hit the note and clear the B pedal. And, along those same lines, can I make it start higher and bottom out quicker, thus maintaining the same amount of travel but raising the height of the start and end points? I know one can adjust the hex screw down there, is that the way/only way?

Thanks. If any of you are still awake, all responses are greatly appreciated.

Will that dictate where it stops too or just where it starts?

Should be both, the pull action will stay the same, it´ll just take place a little higher if you shorten the pullrod by screwing in the connection ball point.
