Here's roughly what I had for an A6 tuning a while back.
___ped1__ped2__ped3__ped4_(space)___ped5__ped6__ped7
D_________________________________+D#
E__+F___________________________________-Eb
C#______--B__________+D
A________-G#___+A#
F#________________________________+G
E__+F___________________________________-Eb
C#___________________+D
A______________+A#___________________________---F#

I'm sure some of this is incorrect, but it's close to what I was doing. I also had a G# on top for a while too. The great thing about these fenders is that you can change things around so easily. I was always trying different things on mine.

Now I have it set up with a basic E9/C6 setup. The E9 is normal except it is without the high F# and low D. Eight pedals all doing pretty normal E9 changes, excpt string 1 is tuned to a D instead of D#, and I pull it up on a pedal. The C6 neck has no pedal changes right now.
