Hello, I have a GFI Expo D-10 and pedal 4 on the C6 neck should raise strings 4 & 8 from A-B mine doesn't, it actually lowers strings 5 & 10 on the E9 neck. Is this something custom or do I have a problem. I actually don't mind it on the E9 neck I'm learning to work with it but in learning the C6 I'm missing that hole pull. Any thoughts, should I be concerned or find someone who can add this pull to the 4 pedal on the C6 neck.
Thank you. |

Chuck, I've made this change on a couple D10 guitars. I seldom used those changes on the C6th neck, so I moved the changes to E9th, lowering 5 and 6. The true Franklin pedal also lowers the 10th string. But, you can get some pretty good moves with just 5 and 6.
If you want the changes back in place on your C6th, it should be easy to do on a GFI.

it's worth mentioning that pedal 4 isn't even included in Buddy Emmons' Basic C6 course.
I had the standard A to B raise for awhile but didn't have much use for it. I raise my E's to F with pedal 4 and can't live without it now.
there's video of a workshop Buddy did in the UK back in the 80s and he was doing the same thing at that time, though he was only raising string 6 I believe.
on his last guitar, he was using pedal 4 to raise string 9 a whole tone and also string 4, A to B.
you may find a better use for pedal 4 or you may want the standard change. I know a lot of pickers find the A to B raise indispensable. happy hunting!
