Standard setup is as TP has stated, as long as your ABC pedals are configured with the A pedal nearest to the keyhead end of the steel. SHO~BUDS,FENDER AMPS& GUITARS, TUT TAYLOR RESO'S
RKR-Lower 2, 1/2 & full tone, plus lower 8 My Emmons had the R knees reversed.īut as you properly stated, the player needs to know what each lever does, regardless of location. I believe much of this came from the standard Sho-Bud configurations. Me, I personally feel that lowering 6 on the same lever as raising 1 is a conflict. here is a very common location description.which does not mean this is cast in concrete. I guess I just need to remember which lever does what.Īlan, it's possible you are confusing the actual location of the levers. I was under the impression that,as I am a newby,the standard tuning for the E9 would have been different.The tuning I have for standard is, PS.your tuning problem is another story.if your raises and lowers are setup correctly, including the 'stops' to those, your problem should be solved.Ĭlick Veruschka's CD "Don't Dream it's Over" If you time the pull on string 2 just right, then your 'G' on string 1 will come out okay. On the lever pulling strings 1 & 7, I would add another semitone raise to string 1, and a semi to string 2. All the changes to be able to most of the things you hear other steelers do, are right there! It is a matter of personal preference on which lever (knee) you want to put which change. So, what's wrong with your setup?.nothing!.
Problem is,the Levers don't move the strings they are supposed to move.Īccording to various standard tunings I have seen,this is not correct.Ĭould this account for my tuning problems? Topic: Knee Lever Setup - Advice Needed PleaseĪs some of you may know,I have been having tuning problems lately.So today,I decided to set up the guitar from scratch,New Strings fitted,tune the pedals and Knee Levers as per the standard E9 copedant.
