I purchased a guitar recently that has the same change that Paul Franklin has on his c6th 5th pedal. It does the following:
7th string raise C to D
8th string raise A to C
9th string raise F to A
I'm just looking for some ideas on what that could be used for??
thank you

| Looks like it might be designed to get easy access to pentatonic scales such as might be used in jazz, "fusion" etc. |

I asked Paul that question and got two things in response.
1. It gives am & C major pentatonic scales. As a bonus - if used w/ pedal 5 (the D change pedal) that lowers G to F# you get the equivalent to playing the 9 - 8 - 7- 6 strings on E9 - 4 consecutive whole steps. SO all those fast E9 licks are right there for you!
2. Paul uses the C & D notes with upper notes to get quartal sounding chords & scales. I haven't spent enough time on that yet.....
Sometimes I don't engage the F to A raise in order to reduce heavy action and some cabinet drop. Raising the big ole' string 2 whole steps is a big move!
I absolutely LOVE that pedal & use it a LOT.

| This is very cool. I really never use my 4th pedal and I think I would like to try this. Any recomendations for the 4th pedal C6 |

Actually I have that change on my pedal 4. 5 thru are the normal C6 changes. And P9 is my "experiment" pedal.
IF you combine P4 & P5 (the D chord change) you get the same 4 consecutive whole steps that you get on E9 (D - E _ F# G#).
