Couldn't sleep last night (just walked the floor LOL)! Was playing the "Franklin" split (into 2 pedals) change in the open position with the bar placed at fret 2 on string 6 to see what would happen if I could put the string 5 and 6 changes on separate pedals. I tried it for a bit and liked what I heard. So now I've got the 5th, 6th and 10th string changes on separate pedals. One advantage of this super split is that you can get more pedal action and more note combinations. You can hold the 5th string note with the full tone lower and rock into and out of the 6th string full tone lower and so on. This also works well with the 10th string full tone lower and you can hear all of these ideas in the first tabbed sound file below. Lowering the 10th string also extends the range of the 10 string E9th tuning. These changes fit well with the 1st and 2nd string raises as is also shown in the sound file below.
I don't have these new changes in ideal pedal locations. They ended up where it was easy to implement them on existing C6 pedals. You may not need these types of changes on a gig in a noisy club. But... on a recording session they do stand out and of of course they make practice a ton more fun and interesting!

I'd like to try some of your changes on my Fessy 12 string. 3 of the C6 pedals are still unused in my Ext E9 setup. Thanks for posting both the audio and your copedent.

I'm sort of behind the times I dont understand a lot of the new lingo about split tnings I done this since 1987 when I had a franklin built for me and just didnt know it.
I put the E to F# move on a RR knee lever you can do a LOT of things with this Put A&B pedal Down raise the Lever (F#) let off of the A pedal while raising 4th to F#....really nice sound so I guess this is what splits are?? Hah HA:).... |

| Greg, If you lower string 6 to G with pedal 7, you will have an A7th chord with Pedals 7 and your RKLF. |

Thinking about moving my pedal 5 E9th change back to the LKV again. This is a pretty cool set of changes and flows real well with a lot of other changes giving you a lot of moving pedal sounds. Having a really compact body on a guitar makes it a lot easier to use more pedals and levers on both necks. The reach is really short for both feet and the left knee.
