| Who out here raises the 1st string D to D# on C6 on the 8th pedal and why on that pedal? I've had there when I had my Emmons p/p guitar set up but at the time really didn't play much on C6. So years later I'm playing it more all the time and like that change on my 5th pedal instead as it goes with the diminished chord using pedals 5 and 6. I'm hearing guys say to use the 7 and 8 pedal as they use it for a chromatic lick. What's your take on the best place to put it? |

| Buddy said he had it on a knee lever and that worked well..He often has it on pedal8 because he uses both feet on C6 and can add it to 5&6 !! I don't believe you would want it on pedal5 as very often the melody will be on the first string! |

| As for the first string raise on pedal 8, try "Misty" in Eb...the pickup "Look at "on 7th fret with pedal 8 brushed with 1st string then third string(with the first string raising 1/2 step),,then to 3rd fret with third string lowered on kneelever....JS |

One reason it's there is to give a root on top of the 13th chord formed by using strings 3, 5, and 7 together.

I raise the D to Eb with my LKL placed for C6 access to give me a quick single note run and also I raise two of the C's to C# and and with the Eb have a flatted 5th. Comes in handy at times.
