I am having a time getting the A B and C pedals comfortable. What is a good "rule of thumb" for proper adjustment? Thanks in advance

Well do you wear boots?

If you do you may have to have them alot higher than one that wears sneakers.

I wear sneakers so they are low but I like to keep my A pedal alot higher than the B for ease of rocking off and on, and my C pedal is a little higher than the B as well.

Truthfully I can get a measuring stick and tell you if you want to know how high the pedals are but this something you have to "play" with.

Billy, I have my pedals adjusted with the A pedal higher than the B and the C pedal also a little higher than B. It seems to be the most common setting for most players that allows for easier rockin from one pedal to the other but you just have to play with it and adjust and try a few times till it feels good to you.

one way i look at is: adjust the pedals in the depressed position so that they are comfortable with the adjacent depressed pedal. this probably varies with everyone depending on what angle their foot approaches the pedals, etc.
