| Which raises 6 strng 1/2 and lowers 2nd strng 1/2. I can see the couple obvious nice things namely the 7/9 voicing at 9th strng root position, and the C sus with a C minor on top at 7th string root pos. For those with this change, what other things has this opend up for you? Thanks |

I miss having this one on my current guitar- among other things it gives you really nice inversions of the standard 6th pedal chords, nice to switch between the two for melodic movement. Listen to John Hughey, he uses this one a lot.

I studied this idea a lot because it's so popular. I even had my guitar set up with it for a year or so. I eventually came to the conclusion that I like raising the high D to Eb better than lowering the high E. It seems to offer better options for scale positions. Or I might be all wet.
There's no denying the usefulness of the middle E to F change though. Having that full major chord in the low register is a big plus in my opinion. I use it a lot.

| With pedal 8 it gives you an augmented type sound. With pedal 5 you get a flat 9 sound. With the C to C# knee lever you get a dominant flat 5 chord. Its very useful. I use it for the major chord it gives you on the bottom that b0b mentioned also. You'll not regret getting it. Don [This message was edited by Don McClellan on 11 April 2005 at 12:21 PM.] |

| I've had the reverse pedal 6 move, as well as the standard pedal 6 move, since '73. I put it on originally to cop some straight guitar stuff, and decided to keep it. The pedals just seem to compliment each other, and I make some good sounds just going from one to the other. |

| My current setup is standard. As a ninth pedal then, not wanting to come between P5 and P6, or P4 and P5,or P6 and P7, I guess the best place to put this change would be on either side of pedal 8? |

My answer (which is only for edification, and not a recommendation) was to put it on P8. I then put the P8 change on P5, and the P5 change on a knee lever!  (I figured having P5 on a knee would save me a lot of "two-footing" on the C6th.)[This message was edited by Donny Hinson on 12 April 2005 at 05:40 PM.] |

I added this change as my 9th lever,
but don't like the lever's position, RKR2.
But I do want the change still. |
