This crops up frequently. Why not wait until you find something you need to do that you can't with the other three? Just being logical, I think.

| Lots of players use what has come to be known as the "Franklin pedal" there. Lower 5,6&10 one whole tone. |

A little less common, but I find raising string six from G# to A#, alone or together with A pedal, extremely useful. This is best to the left of the A pedal (pedal "0").
As a melodic pedal:
Gives you a nice passing tone when your open position is chord "IV" (i.e., when pedals down is your home chord ["tonic"] and you go to open two frets below).
As a Harmonic and/or lick pedal:
When open position is your home chord ("tonic"), go down two frets and use string seven as your root. Now rocking on and off "0" and A creates all kinds of possibilities, including a nice seventh chord. |

With this change and with the E lower engaged (B6 in open position), the O+A pedal combination is the same as pedal 7 on C6. Can be a very useful change on a single neck guitar |

I actually play a uni and I do use P7 sometimes when I'm thinking E9, so yes I'd vote for that too.

| For S10 Emmons those are good suggestions. If you play a double neck and use the 4 on your other neck, adding 3 rods can mess with your feel depending on what kind kind of steel you play. If you play Day, try 3rd string lower a 1/2, raise 5th a whole step. You can always put changes on levers too. |
