5. Actually using the multiple holes on the same levers changes the pedal travel, just as moving a rod closer/further from the body of a "normal" steel changes it. Seems like everyone uses only the outside hole (note - not all levers have multiple holes). It's a subtle change but more noticeable when you make some of the other changes.
Jim, great info, thanks. On the above suggestion, which pedal(s) on your 400 do you use the inside holes?
Also, in regards to what you said about pull alignment, do you happen to have any photos of this?

The holes really vary by guitar - they would seem to be consistent, but I've found experimentation is the best method.

I'll try to gt some "guide" pics up over the weekend...
