Extended E9 on an SD-12

James Quackenbush · From: Pomona, New York, USA

If you guys, and gals wanted to setup an SD-12 with as many pedals and knee levers as you wanted to suit your fancy, how would you set it up ??....I'm talking about setting up an E9 setup now, not B6 Universal....What would be the most knees and pedals you would have, and how would you have them set up ??.....Thank you all for your time....Jim

I max out at 5+5 - any more than that and my reflexes get confused.

My current copedent can be seen here. I don't recommend it to anyone, though. It's evolved over 25 years to match my reflexes and the kind of music I play. I think that once you get beyond the basic 3+3, personal preference takes over.

I used to have one with 6&6 that I changed around a lot. If I still had it NOW, I´d probably do something like this:

P1: Raise string 7 F# to G# like Tom Brumley and possibly also lower string 3 G# to G. I think Jerry Hayes suggested it once. Should be cool for west coast sounds.
P2,3,4: Standard Emmons ABC pedals (B would also raise string 11 G# to A)
P5: How about a whole step raise for both strings 5 and 6 to emulate C6 pedal 7 (useful for some western swing sounds)
P6: would have to be the "Ralph Mooney" pedal (raise string 4 E to F#)

Knee levers: Four would be standard (lower E´s to D#, raise E´s to F, lower strings 2 and 9 D#/D to C#, raise 1 and 7 F# to G (I prefer that instead of the whole-step raise on the 1st string)
Number five might lower the B´s to Bb
Number six... thinking about lowering string 2 D# to D only to have a firm stop for that, and maybe something else, like lowering string 6 a half step to G.

Remember, these are just my own preferences.
