I have a Fender 400 with only 4 pedals.
Can someone recommend copedant with four pedals only? Tuning low to High -
E-B-E-E-G#-B-D-E
I know I will need the pedals one and two(B's to C# and G# to A), but what can I put on the other two pedals?
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Nick |

These are the standard Sacred Steel changes: <center>

Without the knee levers, there isn't much point in the doubled E. I recommend tossing the 5th string, and inserting a low G# as the 7th string instead:
| Tab: |
p1 p2 p3 p4
E
D
B C#
G# A G
E D
B C#
G# A G
E |
As a side benefit, P3+P4 gives you the dobro G tuning on the middle 6 strings.

| Nice with the dobro intervals in there- but even with the minor 3rd on pedal 4, I'd think it would interfere with the "thirdless" setup on the bottom strings for framming and strumming power chords, which seems to be a big part of many sacred stylists bag. If strumming either minor or major chords, this looks like a pretty cool setup. |

| Robert Randolph and Chuck Campbell both have a low G#. It doesn't seem to hurt their framming none. |

Thanks bOb!
Makes sense. I come from a Dobro background, so it works for me.
Thanks again,
Nick |
