Hi everyone -have just put a 3 semitone raise on my 5th string i.e. B to D.I put this on my Vertical lever.It gives an instant open 7th chord and a lovely way to get sus4 on pedals AB.I wondered how many of you have -or used this change ?
Regards Dave |

I like this change too.
It would especially useful if the C# could be in tune after lowering from D. Unfortunately that not the case on any of my guitars altho some are better than others. The C# is always higher when coming from D than it is when coming from B.
I had one guitar (Franklin) where the C# pitch was almost the same either way. On that guitar I had the change on LKV where it was always available. But after Paul F added some pedals and knee levers for me, the C# comes back higher from D, just like on other guitars.
So I put 5 B to D on the rightmost pedal, for the right foot. |

| Hi Ernest -thanks for the reply.I dont seem to have this problem you talk about.I use a GFI Ultra SD10 3x5.Could be the type of guitar and that old problem of string hysteresis. |
