I may, in fact, be nuts. However, I am screwed onto the right bolt... Jesus! |

I think we should give the levers the names they truly deserve: those of the players who invented or popularized them.
For example, the E-F lever would be "Lloyd," while the E-Eb lever on LKR would be "Buddy." Unless, of course, it was on the RKL of an E9/B6 tuning in which case it would be called "Jeff."
The B-Bb, or "X" lever, would undoubtedly be called "Tom," even though he didn't use any levers on "Together Again."
Paul already has either a lever or pedal named for his surname, but I think that the F#-G#/D#-E lever should be called "Paul" even if he wasn't the first to come up with the idea.
I think the F#-G lever would be called "Jimmy," unless the note was achieved at a half-stop on "Paul." In that situation "JimmyPaul" would have to suffice.
I personally use Jimmy a lot to play like Ralph, but that's another thread entirely. |
Uh, okay Herb. You go right ahead. 
Thanks, man. You just made my day.

We have to go with Herb on this one. That is just plain funny.

| Herb, I think somewhere in there, for some function or other, we should have a "b0b" pedal. Just sayin'...... |

why not just place on the string on the tab one for one semitone raise and two for a wholetone raise.
and  and for lowers and you apply your levers and pedals accordingly. For the Boowah lower use  |
