I have the change on both a zero pedal and an extra knee lever. It's very useful at times.

Nope. Used to almost 40 years ago, but found other better sounding alternatives that allowed me more useful (in my opinion)changes for the knee lever (actually, I had it on a floor pedal on my first ZB with 5 pedals). Like Ryan, I have the split on string 6, and also have my LKV lever raising strings 1 & 6 to G to get the minor or the Dom7th.

I only have it on string 3. I'm into the "Mooney" sound and I think you need it for that. My zero pedal raises my 7th string F# to G# and lowers my 3rd string G# to G. On some things I when going from the I to the IV chord on strings 3,4 and 5, I like to use the zero and A pedal instead of the usual A & B pedals, a nice sound......JH in Va.
Don't matter who's in Austin (or anywhere else) Ralph Mooney is still the king!!!

I like this change (G#'s > G's).
On my Universals I lower all 3 G#'s to G.
No split-tuning requiered.
I haven't tried the G#>F# split with the B-pedal, so I can't address that one, but...
A few of my G#>G observations include... If you come from a guitar playing background, this change puts all your open-position E9th Minor chords at the same frets they would be on guitar.
Note: The A+B position Minor chords will be in the same place as on guitar if you use A+B+[B>Bb], which typically requiers split-tuning for the resuting C note.
A+[G#>G] = the 7th chord of the A+B.
If you like Scales/Modes you can use this pedal or lever to play the Major scale using Chords (Do-Re-Mi=etc), I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-dimVii-I (also on the same frets as guitar).
If you play an E chord at the 3rd fret with A+F, one fret up with only G#>G is EMaj7th.
You can basically use it to replace your C-pedal... instead of pressing your C pedal slide up 2 frets with G#>G.
At some point it might be useful if we make a vid of the uses of both the G#>G and the G#>F# functions, as they are both kinda non-standard.
