How would you install a 2nd string raise D# (Eb) to E
and a 1st string raise F# to G# on a Rack and Barrel Sho~Bud?

Would it be possible?

Presently my knee levers are set up like this:

RKL lowers string 4 and 8 E to Eb
RKL lowers string 2 Eb to Db

RKR raises string 4 and 8 E to F

LKL lowers string 2 Eb to D
LKL raises string 7 F# to G
LKL lowers string 9 D to Db

LKR lowers string 6 G# to F#

LKV lowers string 5 and 10 B to Bb.

I have 5 pedals, ABC and 5&6 (spare).

Also, I think the phrase "rack & barrel single raise/single lower guitars" could use some clarifying for the uninitiated. The amount of actual raises and lowers is only limited by the number of pedals/levers on each neck.
