I seem to have lost Jeff's original universal copedent. I'm sure someone has it. Would you post it here? Thanks, ...Tom

I thought Newman used the Day set up. Thanks.

This is from Jeffs S12 E9/B6 Universal Book:
There is no LKR, it's a 7x4.
LKL raises Strings 4 and 8, E's to F.
LKV Lowers string-5 B to Bb.
RKL Lowers String-2 D# to D, and raises String-9 B to D.
RKR lowers strings 4 and 8, E's to Eb.
Pedals ABC are standard Emmons,
He puts the Boo-Wha on Pedal 4 (He liked having the Boo-Wha next to P5).
Pedals 5,6,7 are same as a standard 6th setup.
The chart shows Pedal-6 raising String-4 from E to F, but what it really does is raise String-4 from Eb to E, when you are playing in B6th mode.
He later added String-1 F# to G, to Pedal-5.
Right below this picture is a version with the Day setup.
I can try to get a better picture with a different camera tomorrow.

Pete, the setup in his video uses a 7x5, and there is a LKR. My setup is basically a la Jeff Newman, but I am a Day devotee, so I use the RKR as he recommends for lowering the E's, and LKR raises the E's. This allows seamless transition from the 2nd to the 3rd note of the major scale without the "pause" in the middle that you get when the raise and the lower are on the same knee.

I also lower 10 a half-step with LKV as per the video. It seems his setup evolved over time, and the one you have here is an earlier version.

Will, Tom was asking for Jeff's "original" S12U copedant.
I spent a week at Jeffran College during this era.
Good memories. Smile
