F# to G# on Emmons Legrande II

Peter de Smet · Post by **Peter de Smet** » 1 Jan 2007 7:13 am

I want to change my RKL (F#/G) to F#/G#. At this moment I have this option on my 4th pedal but I find that this is difficult to play .
I've tried to make the change on the RKL but I can't reach the right pitch to get the G#.

Is there someone who have this pedalchange on his guitar?

Thanks
peter

Hello! Peter: Several players have this change on their right knee. I used to, but find that it works very well on my fourth floor pedal, and I don't loose the F# to G or the G# to F# which is on the same knee lever, nor do I compromise the lever feel. I raise the F# to G# and the D# to E on the fourth floor pedal. You can get used to it in a short time. Tommy White has a similar change on his floor pedal as well. I find that it sounds good on a floor. You can get it to work on a lever fairly good , but I find a nice pedal effect with it on the floor, if you don''t lower your B's to A , which I never had a great use for an a floor pedal. Good luck.

Peter, RKL< place the pull rod in the middle changer raise hole and the highest bellcrank hole. The highest being further from the cross bar. If that doesn't do it? Increase the travel of the knee lever just a tad.You may now need to adjust,"Place lower in the bellcranks" the other pulls you have on that lever.Hope this helps.....bb
