Hi folks ,
Does anyone out there use a RVL on an E9 steel.
If so does it hamper the volume pedal swells.Have any well known players used this?
Regards Dave

I've heard of a few people trying it; it usually gets removed quickly because it's hard to operate it and the volume pedal.

I put one on the D-12 Dekley I built for myself. I eventually took it off because I had to raise the guitar 1/2" to be able to use it, and it was awkward to take my right foot off the volume pedal to activate it. Now it's "only" 10&11. Oh Well

Along those same lines, I could never understand how someone could use two RKL or RKR levers. But there are some that do and say it doesn't affect their use of the volume pedal. Some also say they fold one up out of the way depending on what change they are going to need.

Richard,
I had three right knee levers on my Uni 12. Never ever bothered me as far as the VP is concerned. But a Vertical? Hmmmmm,
