I am terrible at this. It is not something I practice or really ever do.
But it seems like a total waste of resources to not 'double foot', as the available voicings increase substantially...
Thoughts ? |

What "additional voicings" would you find useful on a fully set up D10?
What combination of pedals below would be worth taking your foot off the VP? What useful voicings are not already available on a full Emmons or Crawford copedant?

Hi Dave -
Always enjoy seeing your posts on the Forum......
While playing C6th neck, use of P5 and P7 in combination is quite common.
'pretty sure you've heard that many times before.

That is a very good example, and I have seen video of Buddy Emmons taking his right foot off the VP to do that. It requires a VP that holds its position, which has been an iffy prospect in my experience, so I have not followed suit. If you can pull it off it's a worthy move. |

Yes, that D13 voicing on P5&7 sounds very different than just lowering string 3 while P5 is down..
I agree that the chord types are all available without double footing, but the variety of voicings increases with two feet. |

I use 5 and 7 together a lot, but I have them next to each other with 6 on a lever.
I also have the 7th-string ½-step raise on a vertical, so I can get 5,6,7 and 8 without leaving the VP (I rarely use the full pedal 8)
Taking your foot off the pedal is no problem! It's putting it back...
