I'm looking at putting a compensator on the F (raise) knee lever to bring the 7th string in tune. But was curious what other options folks do.
Thanks!

What's the rationale behind putting the compensator for the 7th string on the F raise lever, not on the A pedal?

I think I need a compensator because, if I go for the "3 up" inversion of a major chord, using the F lever, the 6 string goes flat - especially if I use the A pedal. But I would probably link it to A, not F.

Bill, have I misunderstood you? Why would you want to even use the 7 string with the E's raised to F?

Oops! Brain fog! I already have a compensator on the A pedal for the 7th string (that makes the 7th in perfect tune with the 5th-no pedals and in perfect tune with the 5th-with A pedal)
