1. Bye bye BC pedal minor chord -- I did away with the C pedal (the minor chord pedal when using BC). I did want to keep the C pedal's 4th string change-- the E to F# raise. So I put it on the LKV. When I step on A and B, I can raise my knee and hit LKV to get the same notes that I got with the BC pedal minor chord. I like it because the 4 string E to F# seems more useful when its not tied to the B to C# change like it is on the stock C pedal.
2. 6th String Split tuning on C pedal - C pedal now lowers 6th string G# to F# or if I step on BC together, I get a minor chord in the first position. This works great. Rock the pedals and the b3 on the 6th string changes to a 2 or a 4. Its very intuitive.
3. Getting rid of the chromatic notes on strings 9 and 7 -- This is maybe my weirdest change. The RKL lowers 7th string F# to E and 9th string from D# all the way down to B. (By the way, I tune my 9th string to D#.) With the RKL lever engaged, strings 10, 9 ,8, 7 are B, B, E, E in the first position.
The reason I'm doing this is I want to "country blues pick" (aka travis pick) the pedal steel and this change will be helpful in that maybe. It gets rid of the lower chromatic strings on 9 and 7 that are hard to work around when I'm plucking the bass notes back and forth in the first position. I haven't fully explored if but so far I like it. It gives cool new sounds in almost every position. Also that 2 step drop on the 9th string from D# to B gives a cool boo-wah sound.
4. That's about it that's different or interesting. There's also a standard split tuning on the 6th string so I can get a G note with the LKR and B pedal engaged. Thanks for looking.
