I made one that opens a trap door in front of me. Now when some drunk annoys me I just step on the fourth pedal and shazamm. . ..

Hey Billy, the logical place to put a 4th E9th pedal is in the 1st position next to your A pedal as your foot is usually resting over the A & B pedals and moves to the right (Emmons) or to the left (Day) to activate the C pedal. This way it only has to move a little the other direction to use the 4th pedal....... I use a 4th pedal in position one but mine is the Tom Brumley thing of raising the 7th F# to G#....JH in Va.

Like my friend Jerry Hayes says, the best place to put it is adjascent to the A pedal, on the far left of you're using an Emmons set up.
A lot of players have this pedal lower the G# strings to G natural. (I have the change in a knee lever.) There are several good reasons for this, the main on is that when used with the A pedal, you get a diminished chord that also functions as a 7th chord (assuming the bass player is playing the root.) |

I've had the Bs lowering to As on this pedal for a while now, but I'm not very excited by it. I think I'll change to lowering the G#s - that sounds more useful.
It'll also mean I can get a reliable 'split-tune' with my 'C' pedal ('Day' set-up) and my B to Bb lower (RKL) once again - that whole-tone lower has been screwing that split-tune up, and I've missed it!

If the Franklin 4th pedal bugs you with an Emmons set-up? You suggest moving it to pedal one.Then the 4th pedal slot is the perfect place for it. If, you play a Day set-up?
