Now that I am using the back neck for much more than an armrest , I think I would like to be able to move my As one half step in each direction to gain augmented and dominant 7th.
P4 takes them to B and I use that pedal. My RKL drops 3rd string one half step and the RKR raises 3rd string a whole step. My left knees do nothing on the C6 neck.The question is , who has made this addition and how was it done ? Thanks

A lot of guys have those changes including me. Just get two kits, center them over the C6 pedals and hook them up to do what you want them to do.

maybe this can help you Ron

i have ( like some ) A to Bb on RKR
in conjunction w: P6 one gets a Sus 4/ 11th / minor chord

RKL is standard for dropping C to B ( Emmons set up ?)

i have C to C# on Left Knee Vertical
which will give you that major third on P8
or a hip 6th chord w: P5
or an Aug w: P6

i have P4 that lowers A to Ab : along w: LKL that lowers String 5 : G to F & P6 i get a nice minor chord

my LKR lowers both Es to Eb ( here again for a minor chord )
LKR in conjunction w: RKR makes a Minor 7th chord

Michael and CrowBear , I appreciate your advice. I thought those changes would be useful and now I'm sure.
Thanks a million , Ron

P4: C's to C#
LKL: A's to Ab
LKV: A's to Bb
LKR: E to D (2nd string)
RKL: C to B
RKR G to F (5th string)

It's almost exactly the same changes as Crowbear's (except mine are in different places); the only difference is I lower my E to D instead of Eb.
{LKL, RKR, P5, P6} all together give me an open Ab6th, when I let off RKR it's a Ab7th. (For reference, that gives me an G6 or G7 chord at the 11th fret.) LKR & RKL together give me a G9th.

So: LKL & RKR - flap 'em wide Shocked
and: LKR & RLK - squeeze 'em in Mad
That, I can remember.... Rolling Eyes
