Brett
I dont have the 6th lower on my setup I myself use my 7th string 1/2 raise to get my 7th chord, I had the 6th lower but it seemed more in the way for my style so I removed it

I don't know why this didn't occur to me, because I do it from time to time: double-foot. Left foot on A & B, scoot that right foot over to mash the C. Assuming Emmons pedals. I'd pay to see that with Day setup.

Joseph, I actually use the 6 string lower mostly as a split with b for diatonic movement, minor chord inversions, etc. and not nearly as often as a 7th chord pedals down. Id probably also raise seven if that was it's main use.

I understand what you are saying Brett, I just dont have enough knees and had to decide what I wanted most. so I picked the 7th chord over the rest.

put an extra 4th string raise over by your right foot. I have this on mine now and I like it a lot.

Or, play 5/6/8 w/BC down @ 10th fret for the G and then pick 4/5/6 w BC down for Em.
