If you will email me I can send it, but I can't get the Excel spreadsheet to paste into the window.
The long & short of it is:
It is a basic C6 tuning with the D on top (not G).
Pedal 1 raises G string to A
Pedal 2 raises both E's to F
Those two pedals equal the A &B pedals but are pitched to the key of C. (Moving from the I chord to the !V chord)
Pedal 3 is a Franklin change that raises F to A, A (string Cool to C & C (string 7) to D. It gives a very cool open scale for Am & C major.
Pedals 4 - 7 are the standard C6 pedals.
LKL raises both C's to C# and serves in regular C6 style but also as the E - F change when playing E9 style.
LKR lowers both A's to G# - a Buddy Emmons change.
LKV is the reverse pedal 6 change for standard C6
RKL - lowers both C's to B - the very cool C6 change but also serves as the E to Eb change for E9 style
RKR raises both A's to Bb/B on a half stop.
So by moving my foot to the far left I can play E9 style licks but pitched two whole steps lower - and the D on top = the F# note on the E9 tuning. So the only thing I am missing is the D# second string - which I get with knee levers.
If I want to play jazz & swing I just move my foot to it's usual resting place in front of pedal 5 (= Pedal 6 on a regular C6 setup.
The guitar in case runs about 50 lbs & is light compact and gives me the majority of the E9 stuff and ALL the C6 stuff you could ever imagine!
Jim

That's the approach I use, but I raised it to D6th to get closer to the E9th timbre when I'm playing the money gigs. 
I don't lower both C's (D's in my case) on the knee because it messes with some standard C6th voicings. I use a bar slant instead on the lower one.

Hi again Mike,
One thing I did do was go to an unwound G string - it pulled better & sounded good for E9 licks & no loss on C6. I tried Bob's D6 and thought it was great too. But went back to C6. The primary downside to the C6 Universal is if you are doing a lot of radio covers…. trying to play Don't Rock the Jukebox in it's native key requires you start at the 14th fret & head into the stratosphere for the solo.
BUT!!! If you are working with an Americana/Alt Country band the C6 Uni is ideal…..
