Anybody ever hear of doing this? Talk about low end options! Since I'm plumb out of levers and pedals I'm thinking about keeping my string 5 B to Bb and then trying out lowering 9 and 10 (B and G#) a whole step. I don't think one option will get in the way of the other. What do you guys think? The whole mess would be done on RKL.

Why not? My only consideration would be that I like the B-Bb change on 9 as well as 5...get same licks an octave lower. I do have an F#-G# change on 7 and 1 but it would definitely sound different on 10. Nice thing about psg's is that if you try it and it doesn't work out the way you had hoped, you can always try something else! Razz

I don't think I'd put it on the same lever that lowers string 5 as that's the "major 7" for the Universal tuning. Also it's used to "complete" the chord you get with your "Boo-Wah" pedal....JH in Va.
