I have been looking at the changes made by the Mike Seigler pedal. I can't come up with anything better. Have you got a better idea? Here is a quote from Mike on the Steel Guitar Forum.
"Guys, This is just a idea i had to keep from carring around a C6th neck on a plain or other wise, it will in NO way take the place of a full C6th neck, But it come close enough for me to cover the road artist i need to back.... it is very simple, and the guys wanting to carry just the E9th neck around has a little more option then just plain ole E9th.. I have tryed it and it works great with the E to Eb lever to make the 7h chords, and also works well with the E to F change... i am still working out the birth pains, but so far, it is really cool! here is what i have done... Raise strings 567 all half tone and drop the 9th string (D) string a hole tone to (C) it becomes a C6th tunning from 4th string to 9th string, Now just use the E to Eb lever for the 7th chords and then try using E to F lever.. works pretty well!" |

I added lowering 3rd string G# to G to get the high 5th in there. So it's a full 8 string C6th. Haven't messed with the pedal changes much. It's been working pretty good on my S-10 GFI.

| Garry that seems like a lot of pulls and lowers for one pedal to do. Just saying: Raising strings 567,and dropping 9 and 3. That makes 5 strings involved. Is your pedal that moves all these strings hard to push down? The other thing I questions is that with the Seigler pedal, you have to hold it down. Which means if you use the other pedals, then two feet are involved. |

The pedal feel is nice and smooth just like the others. I can thank Jim Palenscar of Steel Guitars North County for putting on the changes and doing the balancing act with all the rods. He was afraid all the changes would break the cross shaft, but it's been holding up for over a year now. http://www.steelguitars.me/Home_Page.html
I use it for non-pedal C6th so the pedal changes I don't really use. |
