I'm still new and learning all kinds of fantastic pedal knee combo tones. Counter point tones have really caught my attention.
When you release the B pedal and then the D knee lever the combo of one string/4 or 8, going up a half tone and the other/3,6 or 10, on my 12 string, going down in tone is beautiful.
What some of your favorite counterpoint pedal/knee tone changes?

Tritone resolutions¹ are cool.
Here's my favorite, easier if you drop your Bs, still doable if you don't:
Strings 5&8, fret 3 (Key of D: the first chord is A7, resolves to D). Strikerrdx with the B lowered, release that lever as you add the D# lever. If you don't drop your Bs, start at fret 2 with the F lever, move the bar up to 3 as you release F and add D.
¹That's the nature of the move you just described, a diminished Fifth resolving inwardly to a major third or outwardly to a minor sixth

Strings 5 & 8 E raise lever to A pedal
Ex: Play Strings 5 & 8 with A pedal engaged @ the 5th fret - slide to 8th fret while releasing A pedal and engaging the E raise lever then release the E raise lever and press the A pedal. It works for moving from a D to D7 or Amin |

Thanks guys.
I have relatives in town and spent all day at the beach surfing and snorkeling. It's tough work but you have to show them a good time...
Anyway, practiced for 90 minutes this morning and am plain tuckered out but will try your suggestions in the morning.

Chuck, printed out the information on the two older threads you provided.
There isn't any SteppingstoneMusic any longer listed on the internet. Anyone know how to contact Rick Kornacker?
