Trying to implement Mike Seigler's C6 pedal into a double raise-double lower MSA, along with the Franklin pedal divided between foot and knee. Used Zane King's "C" pedal.

What am I overlooking?

Don't you need E somewhere to go with changes on P5?

Strings 4 and 8?

I'm assuming you are combining P4 & P5 to get a C6th. I think I would opt to lower string 3 on your P4 to G so I would have the high G that some still use on their C6th neck.

Or perhaps raise string 1 for the "G." I'll need an additional bellcrank for that.

Do my right knees give me pedal 6? I wanted the low "F" from the C6, although it's in the wrong octave.

The constraint of a double/double changer is the reason for using two pedals to get the C6. It's actually pedals 0 through 4, so CAB aren't way to the right.

I'd presume RKL and RKR have a typo apiece...

For use with P4+P5, RKR is the C6th P6. RKL is a popular C6th lever as well. Clever.

How do you like the mirrored e raises and e lowers? Looks interesting would love to hear it played.

I'm very used to having the 4th string E to F# on LKV, emulating the "C" pedal. If you did that, you could have the standard "Franklin" lowers (middle B to A, middle G# to F#) on P2, and maybe even add the low B to A on P1.

Just a thought. I like what you've done, but having 2 pedals that raise 3 and 6 seems unnecessary to me.

The big thing that's missing from the P4+P5 C6th mode is the D9th chord. You would need to lower the G note back down to F# while keeping both C notes. This is a very important part of the standard C6th pedal steel sound. I'm not sure how you could do that. Oh Well

Perhaps moving the 8th string raise on P3 to LKL. Combined with RKL, there's a C#9th.

Well, tomorrow I tear the guitar apart and set it up like this. Then try to play Texas licks.

I agree, B0b, but the corner slant could do that.
