Anyone lower the 6th string on RKR E9TH?

No, but on my old pull-release D10 where lowering 6 would be a hassle, I raise 7 to G# instead on that lever - it's a perfectly good place to put it. (It also doubles as the 1st string raise on the C6.)

That's a better answer than mine.

It's no different than on any other lever. I also have my E to D# lever on LKL, so when I use both together, it's just like I am spreading my legs.

I lower my 6th string on RKR and raise 1&2 on the same knee. I have one of John Hughey's Emmons and it was that way when I got it. Works for me.

I have on an "inside" LKL. Wouldn't be without it.

I have it on P1 and it splits with P2 to get a G natural.
Feels natural to me.

Thanks guys. I know this has been a topic discussed before and I have read the posts.

I was trying to figure a way to separate my 1 and 2 string pulls from 6 string lower.

But... if I put 6 string lower on a LKV, I can't use with LKR which lowers my E's.

Would it be awkward on pedal 4 with 1,2 pulls?

Wayne, my solution was to move ABC over to 2-4, and raise 1&2 on P1. The C pedal is a tad stiff, but not bad

I have the 1 & 2 string changes on a pedal, similar to Lane's. I play Day style, and I have it on P4. I have run into a hiccup though. I am learning Mike Johnson's solo to Daryle Singletary's version of "I Never Go Around Mirrors" for a gig I have in 2 weeks. There is one spot where I wish the 2nd string raise was on a knee lever. I may put just the 2nd string raise on my LKV (which just raises 1 & 7 to G), or on the RKR with the 6th string lower. Problem is, I have 2 pulls on the RKR on C6 with the one pull on E9. When I ordered the guitar, I had them put the 1 & 2 string raises on RKR, along with the 6th lower and the 2 pulls on C6. You needed a tow truck to activate the lever. So, the 1 & 2 changes had to find a new home. First I moved them to my 2nd LKL, but it was too hard to hit quickly. That's when I moved them to a pedal.

Nothing wrong with that, except maybe the 5 & 10 lowers to Bb on a pedal as opposed to most having it on a lever.

I don't see it's purpose. Standard C pedal makes more sense. You can get the same changes on P1 and RKR. It might be a little awkward with those location, but many probably do that combination.

My C pedal is standard. It's a typo too. I raise 4 and 5. And yes, RKL raises 2 to E. Sorry for the typos.
