| Don Curtis suggested that I add this change. I use it at least as much as I use my sixth pedal... just wondering how common it is. |

Steve, I have a LeGrande III that belonged to John Hughey and he had that change on a lever so I left t on it. I would not have it in place of pedal 6 but it is a nice lever.

| I don't have that change, but I lower the 2nd string E to Eb on a knee lever. |

I put it on P4 for about a month, just to try it. I didn't find it very useful compared to P6, and I had to avoid the F all the time when combining it with P5. I'm sure there's cool chromatic stuff that can be done with it, but I needed P4 for something else anyway. I'd imagine lowering both E's to Eb would be a much more useful change.

Buck Reid has that change on p-4 along with Raising #10 (!-tone) C to D. It's a handy change!

Have it on P4 (of 8 pedals total)
P4 has the E9 C pedal pulls also since A,B pedals are P2, P3

| I've had that change since the early '80's when J.D. Walters was here with Freddy Hart and showed me what all he did with it. I always had it on LKR but on my new ZUM Hybrid put it on p4 so another change could be put on the knee. So far, this makes a lot of sense as I can use it in combo w/p5 to get a different voicing than the 5/6 combo. I use it a lot when I want a root low instead of high on the 2nd string. Couldn't do without it after all these years. |

I have it on P4. I find it quite useful for getting the F root in the middle of the tuning. Plus, with P5, you get some of the same chords you get with 5 & 6, only the F and D# notes are changed an octave. I also lower the G string to F on P7 to combine with P6 to eliminate the 9th tone on string 5 and give a root there instead (it also raises string 1 - D - to D# for a flat 7th up in the top part of the chord. My P7 is on a knee lever, by the way. My tunings can be seen on my website below.

It was Buck Reid who suggested it to me while he worked on my guitar a few years back - I have the 10th string raise, too.
