Really?
I'd imagined using the right foot for A only and left foot (much m accustomed to using the pedals) would take B and C
2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

I may have done it wrong Lane but was easier for me to just pump C pedal with left foot and since B strings already pulled up with A and B with right foot. Sounds right as best as I could tell but I would never use that. To me takes more practice having volume right before I take my foot off volume pedal, LOL.

I'm not sure there's a "wrong" way to double-foot.
But as long as it works

Johnny Cox has an E-F#-only raise on his pedal 9, if I recall correctly.

I would put it on pedal 7 (shared with C6 of course) with an 8 pedal guitar.
My rig: Infinity and Telonics.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

Definitely using the C pedal with the right foot. You can tell by the way his body is shifting when he moves his foot over. That's a typical Ralph Mooney type of lick. Mooney always used his right foot on the C pedal – I think it only raised the E string on his steel and was positioned closer to his right foot.
