Heel Pedal
Herold,
Very interesting, I'd like to more about it and his set-up. Copedant?

After downloading the video and listening to it again and again, I have come to believe that what the heel pedal does, is to raise the E string most would have as the 8th string up a fourth; E-to-A.
This is where it seems to create that eerie unison with his B-pedaled sting G#-to-A which most will have as the 6th string.
The player also mentions, he, like most, can then also lower his E's half, which extends his total bending range to a b5th.
As his interlocutor points out, it's quite surprising how well it seems to stay in tune given the abusive pull.
... J-D.

Hi Guys
As Richard says, it raises my sixth string (F#-B)two and half tones to unison with the pedalled fifth string. I also flatten my 6th a semi-tone on a knee lever so the total movement covers 3 tones. I play a D9th. I use Ernie Ball strings with a plain 22. It retains it's tuning perfectly.
Cheers
Barry
