| I have had the E's lowered on both RKL & RKR, I prefer RKL for me. |

| Thanks Dennis - The split on pedal 6 has me confused. Is it a raise or an actual split? What happens to the E (string 4) if you just push the pedal by itself? |

Hey Bob,
If you're ever back over on the Front Range let me know and you're welcome to come check mine out. My Es are rkr. And I have the typical 6th pedal on lkr. For me putting pedal 6 on a knee makes lots of pedal combinations easier. |

Both E's on the left. It's not a challenge for me to get around with the left foot while holding the Eb. I do use my right foot for pedals 6&7, since the volume pedal isn't used much for chordal playing; if it's good enough for Buddy, it's good enough for me. you can see by the unsuccessful erasings of previous setups, there were changes made.

I’m lowering the high E to Eb with a knee lever and raising it with pedal 6. I want the pedal 6 change to take the string to F with the knee lever engaged. How do I accomplish this? Do I need a split here?
Thanks |

You are going to hold your E's down an extended period of time while working most of the "B6th"-pedals with your left leg.
I think that you could possibly hold your LKR while playing your pedals more to the left... but I would have my own debate about that being confortable, keeping in mind that you also drop the second string a full tone to Db with the E's-drop.
you can still have your E-to-F raise on the traditional LKL even thou, you loose a opposed change position. You always want to organize your setup so as many changes that could work together are accessible. Raising your E's while lowering them is NEVER something you will want to do. So, they might as well be on a canceling setup, meaning one is unreachable while the other engaged.

No Bob you do not need a split.
Yes, without the E-lowers engaged, P6 raises string-4 from E to F.
With the E's lowerd to Eb, P6 raises string-4 back to E.
Use the P6 String-4 endplate tuner to tune it to E.
Without the E's lowered, P6 lowers String-8 from E to D.
With the E's lowered, P6 lowers string-8 from Eb to D.
Again, use the P6 String-8 endplate tuner to tune it to D.
Hope this helps!
