On a D-10 with nine pedals, what is the extra pedal usually do on C6th? Have one I’m tweaking out and has 9 pedals but 8 isn’t doing anything so need to put something on it, lol.

Hi Henry, on both my Zum Hybrids and my MCI I have moved the C6th setup across one step - I have the Franklin pedal on 4 and no C6th changes on it - hence the shunt to the right for everything else - it just stops pedal 4 having too stiff a feel :-}

Thanks Paddy, he doesn’t want the Franklin pedal. Do you know of a C6th pull Incan put on it? Pedal 9 is pedal that drops bottom C to A, 8 was nothing and 7,6,5, and 4 are normal C6th set up.

Jim Evans always played 9 pedals but don’t know what 8th pedal did. In fact, this was Jim’s guitar at one time but someone removed 8th pedal pull off it. It’s an Emmons push pull, 70’s guitar.

I'm gonna do a 9 peddlar and put the boowah on 9 w/o the c to c# raise for a fat low min7. Buddy had this on one of his guitars.

Then put the C to C# on 8? I would like to hear that played.

How about dropping 4 and 8 1/2 tone to a G#.? Anyone have that lower on their C6th.?

You could put the inverse of pedal 6 in that position. High E to Eb, low E to F.

If you put C-C# on a pedal, it is very useful to have it next to traditional pedal 5. That gives you a tonic 6th chord three frets up from open position, as well as a major 7th chord two frets down from open position. I have it in position 5, with traditional pedal 5 in 6 position, and pedal 6 on a knee lever (RKL).

No - pedal 8 will be normal, pedal 9 will be same as pedal 8 but without the c# raise. That way I can just stomp away without thinking too much. One for major, one for minor.

I don't have a 9th pedal but a few extra knee levers for C6 so I use one of them to experiment with sometimes. Recently I put a change on it that Jimmy Day had on an extra pedal. Lower 8th string A to G and lower 2nd string E to D. The 8th string lower turns a 6th chord into a major chord by lowering the 6th to a 5th, a nice strum on strings 8 to 5. Used together with pedal 8, it turns the tonic which is now on string 8 into a 7th, great for strumming a low-voiced 7th chord.
The 2nd string lower is useful for playing country licks on C6, at least if you have a G as 1st string. It may have some use for chords also (turns the 3rd into a 2nd), but I'm not sure what that chord would be called.
By the way, if you, like me, prefer G as 1st string instead of D, the 2nd string E to D lower offers some interesting possibilities for single note playing. The more I play around with it, the more I like it. It would make sense to keep this one.

Low E to F change. Found that on Greg Cutshaw's site some time ago. Lots of great uses and sounds there. Visit his site for a whole list of those, and various other changes as well. Best Regards.

To me, it makes more sense to me to have that change on P4, as it can be used with P5, the same as P5 & P6. Unless he wants to use both feet to get that combination.
