Pedal 4 suggestions

[Steve Leal]

Hi Mike,

I really like your pedal change where you raise both strings 6 and 7 a half step. I was thinking that this would be a great 0 pedal location if you could add a half step lower to string 3. Norm Hamlet’s 0 pedal lowers 3 and raises 6 a half step. His change allows for a rake down from string 3 down to get a very cool A7th chord in conjunction with squeezing the A pedal on and off. Also he gets Ralph Mooney licks with string 3 4 5.

I was thinking that combining his idea with yours would make for a very useful change. When just using this pedal alone, it would change your open E major position to a nice E minor pentatonic scale all the way up through string 3. Then, you could active your lever that lowers strings 2 and 9 to C# converting the Em chord to an A9th chord utilizing all 10 strings in the scale.

Now I need me a 3rd rod for my 0 pedal to experiment with this!

Thanks! Stephen
