Cryptic title perhaps, but I hope those who have this change can reply.
Thanks to Jerry Hayes for the suggestion.

Lowering 3 and 6 with pedal 0 and considering lowering 11 as well.
Why not lower all Gs on a 12 string?

Its turned out to be a pretty useful pedal for an easy major to minor!

I found it more useful on the 11th string than on the 3rd. If I only had parts for two pulls I'd forget about lowering the 3rd string.

Thanks b0b,

Interesting that the 3rd lower isnt as useful to you.
As this was a U12 8X5 now pared down to Ext 5X5, I have the extra parts.
Im still just getting used to those two lower strings 11 and 12.
Im going to add the lower on 11 for sure!
It just seems like I am missing it there.
The G lower pedal is new to me as well.
I like it already and have a feeling I'll like it even more with this change.
Very Happy

Same here, and the lever is so much shorter/easier to push without that 3rd string lower.

If I'm adding extra hardware over and above my normal 3/4 set up, lowering the G#'s to G is always my 1st choice and I like to put it on a "0" pedal.
I agree with b0b & Earnest about leaving it off the 3rd string. It seems to be the least used of the 3 changes for me also.
