I ditched the C pedal so that opened up a string 5 raise.
I added it to my Emmons by adding a bell crank + half tuner to that crossrod and pullrod.
I use the B>Bb split on both strings 9 and 5, so if I need the traditional BW effect I just disenguage the string 5, B to C, at the endplate (takes just a few turns to back it off, maybe 3 seconds) or half tuner.
My swing playing with the band is mostly on strings 10-1. I don't use strings 11 and 12 a whole lot in the 6th tuning. I use them way more for Ext E9th.
So for me, needing the traditional BW effect would be more of a specialty thing anyway.
I use the BW pedal way more (with both B's >C) to get the VI cord on the root fret, 7th chord 3 frets up, V7 chord 2 frets back, in conjuntion with P5, ect...
