Pedal A - raise 5 & 10 a whole step
Pedal B - raise 3 & 6 a half step
Pedal C - raise string 4 & 5 a whole step.

lkl - raise 4 & 8 a half step
lkr - raise 1 & 7 a half step
rkl - lower 4 & 8 a half step
rkr - lower 2 & 9 a half step
(rkr may have a half and full step - feel stop on 2)

Also, those with a vertical knee lever will usually lower 5 & 10 a half step - a very useful change.

This is a typical Shobud factory setup. I hope this is what you were looking for. A Super Pro, and all Sho-Buds for that matter, are really great guitars, despite the negative reviews pertaining to the pot metal issues. I have broken one knee lever in decades of playing. You will love that Super Pro when you get it set up properly. Be sure and leave a little "play" in the rods tuning nut at the endplate so it returns completely free of any tension. If you need anything else, drop me a line. I will be happy to help. Best Regards. Zeke

I like putting the E raises and lowers on the same knee (I usually put them on the left).
Because on RKL I raise 1 to G and lower 6 to F#, which plays well with the 4th string lower, and RKR lowers 2 to C# (also 9 to C#), which has melodic uses against BOTH the E raises and E lowers.
